If you follow the link, you should check out the video and the PDFs, both are useful.
Some of the key findings are:
- People actually read more complete articles online, meaning they read them all the way through.
- There are two types of readers: methodical and scanner.
- Alternative story forms seem to work better than consistent formatting. Adding visual display of information, FAQs, sidebars, helps retention.
- Online, people look at nav bars and teasers much more than in print. Print, big photos and headlines are the way to go.
- Action photos draw attention. Small mugshots do not.
