As news organisations sign up to publish straight to Facebook with Instant Articles, Trinity Mirror’s decision to cull new formats teams shows how social media is changing publishers’ priorities Asked what are my favourite pieces of digital journalism to emerge from newsrooms over the past few years, I find myself coming back to a rather nifty news game called Where is Damascus?, produced by Trinity Mirror’s experimental social news team UsVsTh3m. As part of the coverage of the UK’s parliamentary debate over military intervention in Syria in the summer of 2013, Where is Damascus? presents readers with a map of the world, asks them to enter their own location then asks them to find Damascus on a map. You are immediately confronted by your own geographical brilliance or indeed ignorance, plus a score which situates you in relation to everyone else who has tried the game from your area.It appealed because it tells part of a story in a different way. Readers, or users, learn something - it provides an entry point into a story. Related: Facebook Instant Articles: BBC News and Guardian sign up to initiative Continue reading...
