The elevator pitch
In case my research proposal’s too long for you, try this on for size:
I want to shift the focus of news websites from telling audiences what happened recently to telling them what’s happening. I intend to prototype a news website where the latest developments are fed into a living archive of information on a topic, making it easy to get the background and context as well as the current status of a story, rather than posting updates as ephemeral, disconnected articles that fade quickly in relevance.
