1. Optimising interface design
I would change fonts, colours or adding subheadings, news could be divided into different areas, which would help users to understand the news clearly. For example, protests, causes of death, on-site interviews and future prospects.
Moreover, adding a 1-2 sentence summary at the beginning of article helps users to get the key information quickly and enhance usability of news.
2. Adding hypertext design
I would include links to the official websites of people and organisations, which can enhance the persuasiveness of the news story and the user experience. For example, include an official explanation of the term Piscirickettsia salmonis.
Secondly, inserting related news stories on the side can increase the non-linear browsing experience of users.
3. Optimising multimedia
I would improve the selection of images in the news. For example, if the writer wants to convey that the protest is influential and has many participants, then pictures of beach protests on the day of the event should be chosen to strengthen the persuasive power to users, like the top picture.
