From old to new media: Visiolink Case Study

In a fast-paced, technology-driven market, it is not easy to find firm foothold in evidence, so what to do? Martin Brynskov will share his insights from working with "old media", especially newspaper organizations, bringing them safely to new platforms in a form that is both useful and financially sustainable. Based on a case with Visiolink, producer of 500+ titles on tablet, mobile and web, Dr. Brynskov will present concrete case studies and discuss "what we know", including the role of paper as a reference for digital media use. The presentation will address interaction design, digital aesthetics and a bit of technical issues, e.g. platform strengths and weaknesses.
