    Interesting continuation guys. Key success factors; unique "tablet shaped" interaction experience + seamless , non intrusive ad platform. Are people ready to invest? Time will tell. Bye bye cellulose fibers. The race is on.

    Great work! One question: Can you follow a reporter and get all of his works?
  • Alexander Jamal 1 year ago
    Hi Adam,

    Happy you like it!

    Yes! We are developing continuously. In a near future you will be able to follow storys that evolve during the day and also specific writers.

    Great work guys. How much would it cost? Is it like the NewsCorp 4.99$ model?

    Thanks,

    Hi Manesh,

    Thanks!

    It really is up to the different newspapers to set the price. From our consumer research we know that the willingness to pay is high - approx. 70 per cent of a paper subscription.

    Great work!

    I'd definitely pay, but if I do, I wouldn't want any ads. We've all seen newspaper sites and all the ugly banners. I guess an ad-free version and a version with ads with different prices would be great. Some magazines have such a high standard you want to see them, but in others, they can be quite annoying.

    Besides that, different subscription options would be great too. Now it's all or nothing. I don't want the newspaper every day, but I sure do saturdays and sundays and maybe one more day during the week.

    You pay for newspapers and they still have ads in them...

    Interesting! Did I read wrong "... All About News+
    In December 2009, Bonnier launched Mag+, a for..." [bonnier.com/newsplus] Dec 2009? Seems that we miss the stuff for year.
  • Bonnier pro 1 year ago
    Yes, you read right! The Mag+ concept was launched in Dec. 2009 and then went live with the April launch of the iPad and the first Mag+ magazine, Popular Science+. Check it out here: bonnier.com/en/content/digital-magazines-bonnier-mag-prototype

  • Looks very interesting there. The voiceover speaks of interactive graphics and videos inside news+, but I only saw a video. Do you have an example of the interactive graphics ready to show?
  • Alexander Jamal 1 year ago
    Hi Gert,

    As soon as DN+ is out you will se lots of examples of interactive news graphics.

    We're working on seeing if we can get them for you - not sure we can. In the meantime, there are some photos near the bottom right of the page of the vimeo video for Mag+ here. vimeo.com/8217311.

    Love the demo of the News+. Makes me consider moving to the country side, just to have more time reading while commuting to work!

    Great concept video.

    Though, I have to say... There isn't too much here being done that isn't already possible on the web? Commenting on posts, following friends, subscribing to feeds... These are all standard Web 2.0 fixtures.

    Other than the tablet-based formatting, where is the Web 3.0 / semantic web innovation here?

    The curation aspect is perhaps the most interesting... As well as better editorial (print-like) formatting. Will newspapers be responsible for designing their page layouts, or does this system aggregate content into templates (like Flipboard)?

    Superb, especially the 'live' aspect of it with changing headline stories.
  •  
  • Nina Mehta 1 year ago
    Agreed with Graham. This is a very well produced concept video. But there isn't much new here except the medium.

    Much of this still seems like technology centered design, not so much solving problems people currently have with the news. It's interesting to also target people who love the newspaper. Who are those people?

    The geo-loc ad model could be very interesting but can an ad model still really support the news? I thought we learned that is not a working solution. A seamless experience across mediums seems like a helpful feature but overall, I didn't feel like the video was speaking to me as a reader or really introducing anything very new.

    I am always impressed with the way you guys pitch ideas. Your technology and concepts are fantastic but I'm really inspired by the pace, clarity and delivery of your pitches. Very professional and unpretentious.

    Keep thinking forward.
    Cheers!

    As a young person who enjoys reading a traditional newspaper, I think this is brilliant.

    An important feature would be the ability to share articles on twitter, facebook and other services. People would be able to read it online without a pay-wall, but there would still be an incentive to 'rent' the app because it's such a compelling way to read the news.
  • Alexander Jamal 1 year ago
    Hi Brendan,

    I think you are absolutely right - some content has to be sharable. We will keep an eye on how people act with our content and fine tune the model as we go along.

    Always exciting to see the concept move forward. At Knight-Ridder we did development concept around Tablets back in the early 90s, which is like ancient history!
