Problem Statement:
- When it comes to news topics there are hundreds of sites out there with different points of views what makes it hard and time consuming for user to follow every single one get multitude of perspectives.
- Another issue for many users is the lack of a trusted but free community where they can share their points of views and have a healthy dialogue.
Goals:
- The User will be able to get variety of different articles from trusted news outlets and have a distilled view of the most important facts.
- Users will get app writer’s expert view on each topic
- Users will have a safe space to come together and have a thoughtful conversation about topics as the chat will be moderated

Context of Use Scenarios.
We found our audience was 60% female and 40% male that were both working and maintaining a stable life. We ended up with 2 storyboards for working mom Sam and Joe the manager. During the process of storyboarding I discovered challenges that I would solve for in our designs:
- Is the content going to be short and concise enough to not make Sam tired too quick?
- How can we ensure the community is safe and not aggressive?
