Description
I was brought into the TVNZ News project during the early stages of IA and after a short meeting was dedicated to delivering it. The then current News site was seen as antiquated and the existing rehash of 6pm news didn't really capture peoples attentions. We were to deliver breaking news, current weather, live sports results, syndicated international content, streamed video and monetization. All the things you now take for granted on a good news site. The aim was simple. To be the best source of news in the country.
I loved it because
it was meticulously detailled, ambitious, balanced business requirements and user experience perfectly and involved the best project team I've worked with to deliver it.
