Hierarchy by editorial decisions

What is important?What should be in the focus?

It's the daily job for journalists.But the designs of news websites

are mainly frameworked to show these decisions in a

vertical ranking.

And journalists can have a different agenda than

their readers...

How can we findthe underestimated story?

We want to find stories with a high level user engagement rate comparing to the traffic.

The higher the factor, the higher the chance to find the topics our readers are already

discussing - beyond the first screen stories.

Sources for theuser engagement factor

The data...

Journalist's vs. readers' ranking
