Selon l'éditeur du site d'information économique Quartz, cité dans le rapport, il vaudrait mieux "chercher à rassembler des outils qui permettent de créer des Snow Falls tous les jours". Sont cités en exemple les quizz de Buzzfeed, format récurrent très viral quitte à devenir trop systématique.

The New York Times is redesigning its Web site — starting with the article experience. See what’s different, and request access at the bottom of the page.

MATTER is the new home for in-depth, independent journalism about the ideas that are shaping our future. Our stories range across the fields of technology, medicine, the environment and science, as well as the social and cultural worlds that surround these subjects. That means we'll cover everything from corporate misdeeds and untold environmental scandals to radical new scientific ideas and the people behind them.

A media company driven by talent, technology, and design. We empower writers and their communities with exceptional product technology. New media is a new craft that requires a new kind of talent. So we're reinventing the media model with profitable, high-quality, innovative coverage from passionate, talented creators.

USA Today introduced a new version of its website Saturday, one day after it debuted a new design in print. My overall impression: The new site does not feel like a newspaper website, it feels like a news website. It also feels a bit like an iPad app, with a horizontal experience and visual emphasis. A click feels like a finger swipe. Gannett/USA Today Director of Product Design Bill Thornton said in a tweet, “We think the key is to make the experience more app-like and have fewer hard page refreshes.” Still, the site feels like USA Today because it’s anchored by images and color. Here are five reasons the reinvention works for me.

The Boston Globe flipped the switch today on its accessible, progressive enhancement and responsive-design based subscription news site. As front-end development leads on the project (with Ethan Marcotte at our side), we're very honored to have been involved.

The BBC News website editor, Steve Herrmann, runs through the changes – new stories flagged, a shift in navigation and possible Facebook integration

In January 2009 we were invited to take part in a paid pitch for the print redesign for the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger. All in all five agencies took part in the pitch. We were the only UX oriented agency. The story of a beautiful failure.

A day or so ago, the small design studio I run, Mark Boulton Design, was announced as the redesign partner for the redesign of drupal.org. Together with the outstandingly talented Leisa Reichelt and Carolyn Wood, the team at Mark Boulton Design are thrilled to part of this project. More details on the studio site.

At the heart of Newspond lies a fully automated news engine. This system continually watches over and reads hundreds of different websites, including everything from major news portals, to the tiniest blog, or forum.

Admit it. You saw our new homepage and it lived up to your wildest fantasies about online news presentation. Me, too. Okay, maybe—maybe—two, three people tops will say ‘what were they thinking?!’ Rest assured we were thinking. For about two years. Here’s how it started.

After our last posts on the future of news we have been asked again and again to illustrate: 1. What does a newspaper as a wiki look like? 2. How can newspapers bring their online and offline identity together? 3. What is appropriate advertisement? 4. What is an easy to read newspaper website? Of course we are still not allowed to show the work we did for our client. So instead we made a sketch this afternoon of how the Washington Post might look if we redesigned it:

NYmag.com is the official website for New York Magazine. It is a smart, critical guide to life in the city for readers who want to stay on top of the players, trends, culture and politics of city life . It delivers timely insight on everything from local entertainment options to real estate trends, from the hottest hairstylists to the best neurologists, from the restaurant scene to the singles scene. It's a must-read for New Yorkers who want to know what’s new in the city.

Ensuite, et c’est l’étude du site de Libération.fr qui provoque cette remarque, il est bien de dire une évidence à propos de la présence sur le Web : si on commence un site sur le Web aujourd’hui, ex-nihilo, les concepteurs sont libres, à l’intérieur des contraintes qu’ils se sont donnés, d’inventer leur présentation, l’écrin graphique, l’architecture, etc.

Our goal when we set out to redesign The Times Web site more than a year ago was to make experiencing The New York Times online simpler and more useful. We hope you conclude that we have done that on the new pages appearing for the first time this month.

Today, the New York Times launched its site redesign, announced by a prominent editor’s note on the homepage. There’s a few lessons for bloggers to learn from the redesign, as well as some evidence that the Times itself has been learning from bloggers.

The recent launch is not a perfect redesign, whatever that is, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. It's as if a layer of smog was peeled off the page revealing a clean, refreshing reading experience.

Before a few weeks ago, those reading a significant amount of mainstream media content online primarily saw Jurassic-period philosophies from those at the top of information gathering: it was an image of aging, traditionally-oriented journalistic institutions striving to understand (and fitfully adapt to) the distribution of information on the Web. As always, sites such as NYTimes.com and CNN.com were laughably far behind: two of the most visited news sites online carried the same left-aligned, 800×600-optimised, heavily-table-based layouts that designers (or overly zealous Web enthusiasts) would have called “so Web 1.0.”
