The online news tool
Society consistently uses social media and online news platforms to access and receive news. However, timelines and content are now being altered and catered for users to keep them addicted and strung to social media. The main problem now is users across many different platforms will be receiving content that is not consistently accurate due to their catered timelines. That is why for this year’s capstone project, Morning Paper was developed to act as a moderator and tool for users to safely access their news across any social media or news platform. Whether it be on the website or the assistant, users can access the statistics Morning Paper provides at any time they need.
How it works
Morning Paper’s main tool is its news analytics and statistics. For each news topic, Morning Paper will select three of the best news sources from any news platform or journalist. For each of these sources, Morning Paper will provide a brief summary of the source, how accurate the source is and how much bias is present in the source. Users are able to toggle across all three sources to see the variety of how the news topic is being presented across different sources. If the user wants to read more on the source they can access it through the more information button. These sources are also shown in two different sizes. The largest size is breaking news and the rest being regular news.
Features
The website on launch initially offers a variety of news topics from all around the world. The user has the option to filter these topics based on location and type of topic. The user also has the option to search for different news topics at the top of the page. Additionally, if the user requires more information on the Morning Paper assistant, they can access that at the top of the page.
Morning Paper Assistant
The Morning Paper assistant is a tool meant for bringing the features of the website to social media platforms. Like the website, the assistant analyzes headlines, image and caption information that is compared to other sources. By doing so, the assistant can provide a summary, accuracy and bias on the social media post or message. The user can click the ‘sun’ on their timeline to view these statistics and access the Morning Paper website if they wish to have more information. Through the assistant and the website, users are now able to stay safe by consistently having information related to news topics at their disposal. Through Morning Paper, people should not have to be afraid of consuming false information anymore.
