​

Live News & Comments​

 

Belonging to "Interact" team in Shared Platform and Products organisation at Schibsted Media I look into designing for comment and live news frameworks being used across different newspaper brands in Sweden and Norway.

​

I also design for the journalist "Live" content management tool where they create and manage live news updates and share it with readers, be it an election rally, Eurovision concert or just chat about a Christmas tree.​

​​

Work tasks​

​

My tasks include organising and facilitating workshops, preparing, conducting and analysing interviews and usability tests, creating user flows, sketching and prototyping.

​​

Projects​

​

Some of the projects I have been involved in at "Interact":

​

• Live CMS - continuously updating Live CMS to make it quicker and more efficient to work with for journalists, e.g. being able to manage (search, edit and add) photos directly in the liveblogs; easily browse and find relevant news to post from the external news feeds; create clear Setting block to manage all the live blog related setting in the same place​

• Live studios - working on updating existing live studio themes and creating new ones; developing new features e.g. key events - where the reader can get a quick overview of the recent most important news in the news flow

• Comments - designing comment notification centre to keep the readers updated about their comment activities and make them more involved in interaction and discussion; creating a compact view for comments in order to keep discussions running​​

​

PROJECT - Key events in live studios

​

Goal

​

​Explore the ideas of how readers can be informed about the most important events in the live studio  without diving deep into all the post written since his last visit. Test out how those events should be presented and how reader should be navigated to those events.​

​

Processes

​

Pen & paper sketches --> First digital draft + Prototyping --> Discussion with the team --> Usability testing online (both visuals and interactions) --> Updating the sketches

​

I usually start working with pen & paper sketches where I can easily and quickly explore the initial ideas.
