Exploring a new, more dynamic way of reading news with Living Stories
December 8, 2009
"Should publishers charge for news online? How do they replace lost
sources of revenue such as classified ads? How will accountability
journalism endure? And, even more fundamentally, will news survive in the
digital era? These are questions we're deeply interested in, and we've
been exploring potential solutions. But what's often overlooked in these
debates is the nature of the news story itself and the experience of how
it's read online. We believe it's just as important to experiment with how
news organizations can take advantage of the web to tell stories in new
ways - ways that simply aren't possible offline."
"While we have strong ideas about how information is experienced on the
web, we're not journalists and we don't create content. So over the last
few months we've been talking to a number of people to help develop the
concept of something that we and some others in the industry call the
"living story." Today, on Google Labs, we're unveiling some of the work
we've done in partnership with two world-class news organizations: The
News York Times and The Washington Post. The result of that experiment is
the Living Stories prototype, which features new ways to interact with
news and the quality of reporting you've come to expect from the reporters
and editors at The Post and The Times. We're excited to learn from this
experiment, and hope to eventually make these tools available to any
publisher that wants to use them."
