Abstract

The metaphor for the electronic presentation of news is still evolving and no one is certain what the most effective metaphor will be. This paper presents an evaluation of two current metaphors for the presentation of electronic news; the traditional newspaper broadsheet metaphor and a document metaphor such as one might find on the World Wide Web. The task assigned the subjects was simply, “read the news.” The results favored the broadsheet newspaper metaphor as it seemed better suited to complement the process of “reading the news”.
