The Evolution of Newspaper Sites: Linking Architecture, Programming and Media Design
The new building of the NYTimes editorial board has provoked some thinkers to intelligent discussions about how the architecture of office buildings and web design information sites are connected. If you think about it, these two spheres largely overlap.
Interestingly, rapid progress is occurring in both these areas. For example, look at the evolution of the front page of the newspaper LATimes.com from 2002 to 2006. You can see how dramatically the number of graphics (yellow) and advertising (orange) on the pages of the site.
The main problem of online media is to transform the structure of the website into a single monolith, some parts of which are harmoniously connected with each other and make it easy to get to any corner and find any additional information on the desired topic. In fact, we are talking about database journalism (database journalism), a striking example of which is the site of Chicago Crime , all based on mashups. Even there are even special CMS for new generation media sites.

Recently it becomes obvious why all journalists are obliged to study programming. Not only because writing texts for people and code for machines has a lot in common. Also in order for journalists to learn to realize the potential of digital media and the Internet. Modern journalism is the work not so much with the word as with the huge information flows from various sources, the ability to process them, filter and present them to the reader in the most convenient way.
