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.

The Context Layer in Journalism: Why Newsrooms Need More Than Just Content
In an era of information overload, the problem isn't a lack of news — it’s a lack of structure. This article explores why audiences, particularly those under 35, are increasingly avoiding the news due to its fragmented nature. We introduce the concept of the "Context Layer," a new category of newsroom infrastructure that sits between the CMS and Analytics. By using tools like interactive timelines, structured collections, and agile liveblogs, publishers can reduce cognitive load, connect stories over time, and bridge the generational gap in news consumption.
