So I have a really big problem, everybody.
I'm sort of obsessed with the news.
An example of edge-pushing: An idea I’ve been playing with on ShortFormBlog lately involves finding ways to get people to engage more directly with the content. As Tumblr recently launched an update to their slideshow feature which simultaneously made the content more visual and better-organized, I started playing around with the idea of taking breaking news and treating it like a magazine that I updated along with the story. The results were strong — this Tumbl-zine and a separate one about Rupert Murdoch drew thousands of visitors and encouraged active reblogging. Best part? All I needed was InDesign.
