- case study

breadcrumbs  is a multidimensional storytelling platform that enhances the delivery of locally-focused journalism by allowing users to become fully immersed and to choose how they follow a story.

​

the live experience

• the app product provides a multimedia experience through text, photos and videos. 

• journalists can mark relevant elements of the story that will later become a ‘breadcrumb’.

• interaction between journalist and users.

• users can follow events in real-time, enhancing the ‘live story’ experience.

• users can contribute their own content to help build a richer story (moderated by the editor).

• social media integration allows for easy sharing.

​

360º breadcrumb experience

• users can interact with the geo-located breadcrumbs previously left by the journalist.

• a number of different views can be activated to see where certain events took place (360º and ‘birds eye’ map).

• each breadcrumb contains detailed information, allowing users to be better informed and engaged with specific aspects of a story.

• comments are seamlessly integrated to encourage discussion and engagement between readers and the stories.
