The UX of news: The good, the bad, and the downright ugly
In the last year Martin Belam has helped Trinity Mirror launch two news-related sites, UsVsTh3m and Ampp3d. In this talk he outlines how years of experience designing at places like the BBC and the Guardian, and consuming news, were distilled into designs that were purposefully optimised around the mobile sharing of content.
