Public Affairs News and Analysis App
News, stories, books and an archive about government and public administration
The client publishes news and analysis about politics and public administration. Our team developed the mobile app: readers follow two news streams, Political and Bureaucracy, browse books written by public servants, search the archive and save stories to read later.

The product
What it does, and for whom
Readers who follow government want more than headlines: news, personal stories, analysis and different points of view on how public administration works. The app keeps political and administrative news apart, adds a shelf of books by serving and retired officials, and lets readers look back through earlier stories by name or by date.
Scope The news, analysis and books are the client's. Our work was the mobile app described here. To keep the client confidential, the screens on this page are recreated from the delivered app with neutral naming, invented stories, books and authors, and drawn illustrations in place of the client's brand and photographs.
