Akron Beacon Journal Reading newspaper stories on the Internet has been a frustrating and unfulfilling experience for many people. The visual cues are reduced, including the hierarchy of headline sizes and the placement of stories on pages.
Most Web sites display few photos and graphics, often small.
Web site navigation can be different and confusing. We call it the Interactive Newspaper. In a patent-pending application, we are enhancing our paginated newspaper pages with additional links and content in a completely automated process. It uses PDF technology as the base, with added programming. Initially, because of file size, the Interactive Newspaper will be distributed via Compact Disc.
