Le prototype lancé par le New York Times veut s’adapter aux évolutions du journalisme numérique et aux nouvelles habitudes des lecteurs. Ravalement de façade au NYTtimes.com ! Le quotidien américain a dévoilé le 13 mars dernier les visuels d’un prototype de la nouvelle version de son site web. C’est la première refonte majeure du design du site depuis 2006. Et surprise, le changement ne commence pas sur la page d’accueil, mais sur celles des articles. Un nouveau design épuré qui met en avant les visuels Pour ce faire, le journal a choisi de donner à son prototype une apparence plus propre et aérée que celle du site actuel.

Le iPad, sauveur de la presse écrite ?

En effet, le iPad permet aux éditeurs de commercialiser leurs contenus en passant outre le Web. Contre espèces sonnantes et trébuchantes, l’utilisateur du iPad peut dorénavant télécharger une application qui lui ouvrira les portes de l’information numérique.

But a majority says they would not be willing to pay for news content on these devices, according to the most detailed study to date of tablet users and how they interact with this new technology. The study, conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism in collaboration with The Economist Group, finds that the vast majority of tablet owners-fully 77%-use their tablet every day.

They spend an average of about 90 minutes on them. The Transition to Digital Journalism. While cellphones have become ubiquitous as mobile devices, it's been a much longer road to popularity for tablet computers - portable electronic devices that try to fill a void between tiny screen cellphones and more cumbersome laptops.

The Transition to Digital Journalism

Roger Fidler was one of the original proponents of these portable "electronic tablets" when he ran the Knight Ridder Information Design Lab in the early 1990s. See this story and this 1994 video showing Fidler's vision (Fidler is now at the Reynolds Journalism Institute as Program Director for Digital Publishing).
