Engaging news-minded millienials with Facebook

An interesting partnership that will launch apps on Facebook in an effort to engage more young people in the news. Also, a partnership with Facebook and online enviromental magazine Grist.org, which happens to be Seattle-based. Again, this touches on news consumption and alternatives to the old ways of news delivery. But will they be appealing to you? And what might this mean for journalists of tomorrow? Press release of the projects here.

RIP CNN Ticker

I like the new look of CNN. I think it’s cleaner. I was a fan of the Ticker — that news headline feed that crawled across the screen from right to left. But I have to say I’m liking this new thing, dubbed the Flipper, even better.

Since this course is about delivering information and what/what isn’t a good visual, this story seemed worth posting. Curious what you think of the changes…
