Track news from multiple perspectives from the beginning to the end.
In an age where NEWS has become a tool for the minority to brainwash the majority, objectivity and rationality have become extravagant. Does the free will we often talk about really come from within us?
The era of information fragmentation and explosion, coupled with the so-called "smart recommendation," has gradually made us lose the ability to think independently.
Things always have their "multi-angle," continuous rather than a point. We need a tool that can help us gather them together. String those tiny pieces together to restore the original appearance of the incident in multiple dimensions.
Big data recommends similar things based on our preferences. It was supposed to be a win-win - the users got what they wanted, and the internet companies got the users and the money. But this seemingly humanized design brings a lot of problems.
Only receive content that you prefer. While getting what you need in less time (increasing depth), there is a problem of cognitive limitations (reducing breadth) due to the limited amount of information acquired.
People will become more paranoid and unwilling to accept other views that do not conform to their own thinking. It hinders the communication between different people and even creates greater class conflicts.
Intentionally convey a specific value (such as holiday consumerism) by entraining their ideas in the recommended information stream. It can be economical or political.
Suppresses the ability of individuals to think independently and destroys the cultural and aesthetic diversity in society.
In the short term, those invisible temptations create endless bickering. But in the long run, things each of us is unfamiliar with will become vaguer, followed by the regression of empathy ability and the intensification of various social conflicts.
Red, as the primary color, emphasizes the timeliness of the news and stands out more against the dark background. It is used for some crucial buttons and time-related tags, which makes users more aware of when that news is released and updated and feels that these things are happening around them.
Many people will underestimate the importance of fonts in the atmosphere of the design. I avoided using traditional sans-serif fonts to get rid of the negative impression that the original media industry gave people. Instead, this font has a lot of rounded corners and can create a new vibe.
