Anne Forrester- Weekly Artist Post 2

Borderland NPR

this is really cool.

No, this is not an artist exactly, is immensely interesting and influential to me. Borderland NPR was a web project created to tell stories of many different aspects and facets of the US-Mexico Border crisis. I obviously am particular interested in the content of this project and am interested in the issue, but it is the presentation and design of the information that I find so great. The interactive quality of the app and the way the reader interacts with the information in such a quick and direct manner is astounding. I think web design like this for news and journalism is huge;too many people are too ignorant of things happening in the world and in order to get more people to be current event literate we need more news experiences like this one.
