Interface design and transmedia ideals, logics, and values in pandemic
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
In this proposal, we would like to defend how the interface design combined with transmedia ideals, logics and values respond to the challenges, demands, challenges and needs detected in the Hybrid (Chadwick, 2013) and the Liquid Media System (Serrano-Tellería, 2020). Thus, reviewing a brief examination of recent theories of news production and consumption, this proposal describes the transmedia ideals, logics, and values for journalism, and explores how transmedia storytelling addresses the need to ensure the continued relevance of journalism. We test the ideals, logics and values and refine the evolving features and strategies employed by legacy media internationally through case study analysis, complemented with interviews with transmedia producers and previous works carried on within NewsNet research project (2019-2023).
