SIBERIAN NEW MEDIA; HOW STUDENTS PROJECT CAN EXPLAIN LIFE OF UNKNOWN WORLD

How can students learn the basics of the new media? How to make the results interesting for people from different countries?

THE VISUAL LANGUAGE OF POLITIKEN

Politiken seeks to point out the difference between the visual language and journalistic campaigns. What does this mean for the newsroom interaction, not to mention design consistency, as seen from a design manager’s perspective?
To visualize one of his points Søren Nyeland will present a campaign –  ‘What’s up Europe?’ – that was launched in the summer of 2016 in the wake of the dramatic Brexit days that shook Europe. Among other initiatives, Politiken asked 28newspaper cartoonists from the 28 EU countries to capture the future of Europe with their artistic strokes. This fine selection of cartoons were published all over Europe and got an incredible attention from readers, politicians and European institutions.

DESIGNING FOR DISTRIBUTED PLATFORMS AND NICHE AUDIENCES

Emerging News Products for millennial – Chris Meighan and Amy King will lead the Emerging News Products team — a groupcreated to function like a start-up within The Washington Post’s newsroom. They have released The Post’s nationally focused app, The Post’s channel on Snapchat Discover, and most recently The Lily.com, a niche off-platform publication that reaches millennial women that has its own distinct design aesthetic. They also work closely with leading distributed platforms such as Apple News and Facebook.
Just three years ago, they were both print designers. They will address the importance of classic editorial design in the digital space, and they will share lessons learned from working with partners and offer insight into what makes their teams capable of quick, innovative product releases.
