Thomson Reuters and the IxDA are very pleased to announce the launch 
of our 2012 Student Design Challenge!

Entries are open now, and close on December 5, 2011. Be in the 
running to win a scholarship to Interaction 12 in Dublin, and take 
part in an exciting design challenge around the future of news.

The challenge theme for 2012 is: Design the Future of News:

We're in a time of upheaval over how we stay informed. People follow 
breaking news via Twitter. Tablets, mobile phones, paywalls, RSS 
feeds, viral videos and other elements have found their way into the 
current news landscape. The experience has swollen far beyond the 
icons of the daily newspaper on your doorstep and the 6 o'clock newscast.

We know that people are consuming news differently, and these 
emerging practices are changing the news.

What is the future of the news? What do we even mean by "the news" 
anyway?

This year, Thomson Reuters and the IxDA challenge you to look beyond 
the forms of delivery to address the behaviors, interactions, and 
goals that surround news.

We want you to explore the interaction design implications of 
questions such as:
* What are people trying to achieve with news?
* How do we identify that a particular story is important or relevant?
* What is the relationship between the different types of information 
that currently make up "news" (e.g., entertainment, local, breaking 
news, weather, data, etc.)
* What is the potential for emerging trends in how news is produced, 
from hyperlocal to citizen journalism?

The challenge is open to current students and anyone who has 
graduated in 2011.
It runs in two stages: an online entry followed by an on-site 
masterclass and design challenge at Interaction'12 in Dublin.

See http://interaction12.ixda.org/student-challenge for more 
information on the prizes, judges and how to enter.

Good luck!
