News in digital media: Presentation of unpredictable information

In contrast to traditional media such as newspapers or television, digital media like the World Wide Web are generally dynamic. Here, news is no longer bound to a specific form or context. This separation of content and presentation poses challenges and opportunities at the same time. The formal presentation is not necessarily able to synthesize with the content in order to support its communication. This work tries to answer the question, how a preliminary linguistic analysis can contribute to finding adequate presentational forms that relate to each news’ specific content.
