Interactive News
I was doing a little search on "Interactive News" to see how this topic would related to some of the readings from the "Chris Crawford" book. I was interested to see how the news broadcasting is becoming more interactive. In the past the viewer could only watch the news or read the newspaper, and there was not much opportunity for interaction between the viewer and the news media. Now with the use of interactive systems such as "Tweeter" and "Face Book" very often the viewer is given a chance to comment on the news, and the comments are usually immediately posted for other viewers to see. It is very interesting to see how the news is becoming more dynamic and how big newspapers such as "The New York Times" have now departments dedicated to the development of interactive projects. Below is a link to an article that I came across called "Talk to the Newsroom: Interactive News Collaborative". This article contains little interviews with the Members of The New York Times's interactive news team with links to their projects, and also has a very interesting section on the elements of good interactive design.
