Today Page: Behind the Scenes
There's some well known sites out there that write their headlines as click-bait, and they lie to you. You click to find out the story has nothing to do with what you were led to believe. Who cares. You saw their ads, and that's all they cared about anyway. After a while you feel betrayed and never return. But you also lose a little faith about all headlines everywhere.
DeviantArt wants to attract you, but it doesn't want to mislead you. The Today Page is intended for broad audiences, so that we can help make the Arts more accessible to people by connecting Art & Artists with Popular Culture. So on Saturday, techgnotic and I chilled at my house to talk headlines. We jumped into the #newsdesk Chat and we went through all the headlines for Saturday with members of the community. Geeking about how to make them attractive, but not misleading.
Many thanks to Astralseed, copperrein, deviant-garde, sparkesauthor, isthisthingstillon and RezaBisuto for hangin' out with us and geeking, headline-style.
We came up with:
- DeviantArt Hotel: Possible Reality?
- Walking Dead S5 Premiere: Predictions In Fan Art
- Putinology: Artists Expose Russian President
- Why People are Losing Confidence in Wikipedia
Enjoy the articles!
The Today page is a part of an overall initiative at DeviantArt to make the arts more accessible to people in the world. We do this by writing articles that that reflect popular culture through the lens of DeviantArt. Kind of like Jon Stewart, John Oliver, or The Onion do every day. Only we do so on the DeviantArt Today page from our point of view.
Tune in every day for updates!
