    Create dynamic news media experience across all platforms

    The iPad proved that digital journalistic products don‘t have to look like a boring bunch of links stuck together. It is also proving that such captivating products are easier to monetize. But in today‘s multi-device age - should this new experience be limited to tablets only?

    As online journalism evolves it becomes clear that the one-template static sites are just not enough. Homepages should be able to instantly change to reflect drama (Bin Laden has been killed) to highlight the best elements of the article (an amazing video of the tsunami hitting Japan‘s shores) and to create dynamic information packages (all the news on the elections today). This dynamic experience should be visible on all digital devices, according to the users‘ choice: laptops, mobile phones and tablets.

    The workshop will give valuable insights on how to create a “killer” app for distributing and monetizing your content on mobile devices. Based on numerous case studies, the training session will take you through the whole app creation process, from the business plan check list and the IT requirements to the ad delivery, without forgetting crucial tips on ad design and editorial workflows.
