Project Description
The True Front Page for the 21st Century
FrontPage is a web application that provides a centralized location for users to access trending news. The application also supports searching for specific topics across a wide variety of social media platforms and news outlets and condenses the results based on popularity. As there is not currently one application that offers trending news from both social media sites and new sources in such a simplified format, FrontPage aims to become a centralized platform for users to access top news stories with ease, without having to visit and scroll through multiple websites and applications to access the most popular posts.
Project Scope
Since sixty-seven percent of adults get their news from social media, and over one quarter of this demographic gets news from one site only, our applications aims to offer a unique experience that allows users to track top news stories from a centralized location (Pew Research Center). Our mission addresses “reinventing news” and the way that consumers track trending stories. FrontPage will pull data from both news networks and social media sites in order to provide the most integrated, content-rich experience.
