Entered in Mobile App

Objectives

AJ+ is a recently launched digital-only news channel, headquartered in San Francisco, California. At the forefront of new technology and quality journalism, the AJ+ mobile app serves users contextual news in the form of short videos, infographics, quizzes, polls, and online conversations. Arranged in stacks, the AJ+ app recognizes that news isn't just a single article, but an ongoing story that continues over time. Informed about the issues, AJ+ users are empowered to engage in online debates and with the global AJ+ community.

Strategy and Execution

The AJ+ mobile app reframes the concept of a news story. With concise yet dense videos, infographics, and facts, AJ+ also makes news an interactive experience as users engage in polls, discussions, and debates centered around the issues that matter to them.
