Having an identity that belongs to the individual journalist and doesn’t sponge off the reputation of the organization, is crucial. It’s easy to hide behind the reputation of your institution instead of understanding byline by byline, story by story, that writers need to establish a level of trust and interest with the reader. It’s about having an approachable way of interacting with readers. In that sense, you can pick up and move from organization to organization.

The moment of the tablet and blog is already passing and the hardcopy book, which is an unimprovable technology, will survive and make a comeback… I expect a proliferation of smaller imprints and independents like ours to appear in the next few years.

Website Principles
Map:
Scrollable, zoomable,
If this is not possible, an alternative is this something like this:
http://eastvillagepoetrywalk.org/index.html
General:
Social Media Buttons reference: http://www.nrk.no/ytring/voksne_-laer-dere-nett_-1.12344723
In black and white, but hover in color
Menu should be black, but transparent
Text in menu should be white and bold
Menu icon button (no background, white): Hover effect: Zoom (only a little)
The interview background should be all white. Not transparent
The menu should pop up on the side of the icon (so that the icon is not IN the menu)
In menu no map option, should be:
Interviews
About
More
Contact
Interview text site:
1. Questions not centralized, on the left, no names
2. The interview text should be more narrow (about 2/3 of what it is now.)
3. Bottom of interviews; a “More Interviews” button that links to the interview list
4. Pull quotes like on wix
5. Should there be a 'read' button in the map pop up, or is the text a link?
About:
About text first (see wix for reference)
The team:
picture of everyone (see wix as reference)
Hover: grey transparent with black letter indicating name
HOVER REFERENCE, DEMO 1 http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/OriginalHoverEffects/index.html
when you click: pop-up with gif, bio, social media
Interview list:
Black and white
see ‘blank’ reference on wix (juliana, will you look at/work on this? I dont think it looks too good yet)
Contact:
see wix
social media same as interview page

The question becomes, how do you create a publication that is built for engagement rather than a publication built just to get people to share your stories on social media….I think people are going to have to stop using engagement as just a buzzword and start taking super seriously.
