¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº News is now available in a variety of formats - a headlines digest, images, video, Twitter and an events blog - as well as press releases and notices about awards and appointments, so that you can follow ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº developments in your preferred way(s).

The new design also enables us to:

• promote a greater variety of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº activity, while also creating content in new formats
• present ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº News in formats that can be more easily shared
• cater for the general trend among all age groups away from digesting longer text-based articles in favour of drawing quickly on a variety of sources of information, as found by , summarised on ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº News.

Several elements of the new design are also reflected on the 'Discover ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº' section of the homepage (), which now features the headlines digest, links to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº presences on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and iTunes, and a feed of upcoming public events at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº.

The news page design is based on research conducted in 2010 about how visitors to the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº homepage and newspage like to consume news, as well as general trends in online information consumption.

Key findings of the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº research were the desire for news to be presented in a more dynamic fashion, on social media channels, and to incorporate more event information.Ìý

The different formats are explained in detail below, along with the reasons for this change.
