Clicking Through Endless Seas: Understanding User Experience in the Design of Journalistic Websites

摘要

The research explores the visual design of journalistic content websites, from a producer and user perspective, to understand the forces underlying the design. A genre analysis approach is combined with an understanding of user experience (UX) in interaction design to investigate the meaning embedded in the design features of three websites. Ethnographic Content Analysis (ECA), observation tasks, and in-depth interviews reveal a negotiation process between users and producers in achieving their purposes through the website product.
