de Volkskrant x Timepath Collection

De Volkskrant uses Timepath’s Collection feature to bring structure and context to complex or evolving stories. Whether it’s a series of investigative articles, ongoing political developments, or curated cultural pieces, Collections allow editors to bundle related content into a clear and engaging reader experience.

With Timepath, Volkskrant editors can combine articles, videos, timelines, visuals, and interactive elements into a single scrollable unit — tailored to both desktop and mobile. The result is a rich, immersive way for readers to explore a topic deeply and intuitively.

Collections are fully customizable to align with de Volkskrant’s visual identity and editorial tone. They also encourage longer reading sessions, return visits, and social sharing.

Key benefits for de Volkskrant:

  • Combine related content into a single, cohesive experience

  • Ideal for thematic journalism, dossiers, or special features

  • Supports multimedia formats including video, timeline, and images

  • Optimized for both mobile and desktop

  • Fully styled to match Volkskrant branding

By using Timepath’s Collection feature, de Volkskrant strengthens its role as a guide through complexity — offering readers not just news, but context.

DeMorgen turns Antwerp into a bucket list with Timepath GeoStory

De Morgen asked what you have to have done at least once as an Antwerper, collected the answers from locals, and published them with Timepath GeoStory's bucket list mode. Readers switch between a list and a map, filter by category, and mark every tip as somewhere they want to go or somewhere they have already been. Those choices persist, which turns a city guide into a tool people return to rather than an article they read once.

Leeuwarden Courant turns its readers into photographers with Timepath Voices

King's Day happens everywhere at once, and no newsroom has enough photographers for it. Leeuwarden Courant turned that into an invitation: a Timepath Voices callout inside the article asked readers to send in their best photo, and every submission appeared in the same place moments later. No form, no inbox, no upload page — one question, one tap, and a gallery that filled itself while the day went on.
