Interactive Newsprint 'Telling Tales'

互动新闻纸项目汇集了社区、技术专家、研究人员和专业记者，开发和测试一种使用连接到互联网的纸张讲述故事的新方式。这项研究解决了英国传统新闻/媒体格局所面临的关键挑战，打破了新闻和信息流向纯粹的在线或便携式网络平台，以提供更广泛的可访问性和可持续性的替代品。除了用户测试该领域的技术和互动外，研究人员和社区正在探索新的讲故事和广告形式，以及互动新闻纸特有的新收入和订阅模式。“讲述参与故事”赠款将使研究团队能够向英国和国际研究社区的人，媒体行业的专业人士和更广泛的公众介绍这项工作。一个小团队将向英国、印度和美国的印刷媒体公司展示原型。他们将把他们的活动与两个主要活动联系起来，一个是2013年2月在印度举行的Unbox音乐节，另一个是3月在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的西南偏南音乐节。在最初项目的PI Egglestone的领导下，该团队将继续他们的活动，使用YouTube，Twitter和Facebook等社交媒体工具讲述项目之旅的故事。他们还将为主流电视、广播和印刷出版物编写更多的故事。

The Interactive Newsprint project brought together communities, technologists, researchers and professional journalists to develop and test a new way of telling stories using paper that connects to the internet. This research addresses key challenges facing the UK's traditional news/media landscape disrupting the flow of news and information to purely online or portable web based platforms to offer a more widely accessible and sustainable series of alternatives. Alongside user testing the technology and interaction in the field the researchers and communities are exploring new forms of story-telling and advertising and new revenue and subscription models unique to interactive newsprint.The 'Telling Tales of Engagment' grant will enable the research team to tell people from the UK and international research community, professionals in the media industry and the wider general public about the work. A small team will present prototypes to print media companies in the UK, India and America. They will link their activities to two major events presenting it at the Unbox festival in India, February 2013 and again at South-by-Southwest in Austin, Texas in March. Lead by Egglestone, the PI on the original project - the team will continue their activities to tell the story of the proect journey using social media tools like YouTube, Twitter and facebook. They will also develop further stories for mainstream TV, Radio and print publications.
