imageAs the world moves ever faster toward the Internet, much is changing in the world of journalism. And if newspapers previously prevailed, now the world of blogs and online publications is rapidly taking their place.
One of the cool features of the Web is the absence of restrictions for the developer regarding the specific location, interface, or data output format. Everything can be achieved with a little competent design work.

In the world of news, there are several unique, different, and fun ways to read news.
This is a game, a puzzle or image search, the following are three new news reading paradigms:

Spectra Visual Newsletter

Spectra is a completely new way to read news. Instead of viewing a vertical page, you rotate the headings and pictures in order to choose which news is most interesting to read. You can select the news channels you are interested in: Sports, Technologies, Politics, etc. - and then scroll through today's news headlines, along with Spectra. If you need news only of a certain subject, it is possible to find headlines by keywords. Clicking on the title will open the full article, and you can save or share it directly from Spectra.

You can even interact with Spectra using a webcam and microphone, for a more complete immersion.
One way or another, this is an original way of viewing, reading, and interacting with news headlines.

Newsmap

Newsmap is essentially a mashup of social media newspapers. Using Google News, Newsmap combines articles and provides headlines based on the number of articles on the subject. The larger the headline, the more articles on the topic. If you have only 10 seconds, but want to know what is happening in the world, Newsmap gives such an opportunity. Articles are colored depending on the topic, size depends on popularity and darkened by relevance - dark areas are old articles.
You can sort the results by category (Business, Entertainment, National News, etc.), by country around the world. Newsmap is a great way to compare what the world is talking about and see in a simple and visual form what is happening in your country and around the world.

Newsbreaker

NewsBreaker is probably not the most informative and time-efficient way to read news, but it is undoubtedly one of the funniest. It is presented in the form of a game of breaking blocks, in order to pass the levels, you must "catch" a certain number of headings with your shoulder blade. Each heading caught by you can be found on the sidebar, and with one click on it you can open the full article.

This is both a fun game and a fun way to read the news - headlines anyway. Visiting a large number of people on the MSNBC website (which owns the game and articles) is certainly unlikely, but it’s a fun way to find the article “Students want to learn less and play more” in today's news.

The news looked like we were used to for a long time - now, with the advent of the Internet, it is time for a change. With these and other sites, we are observing how the way we read and interact with daily news is changing.

Where do you get the news? Would you use these sites to read news?
