What The New York Times Looks Like On Apple Watch

The times they are a changin' (sorry, I had to!) and they're looking pretty good. Imagine getting a roundup of the news like this...

App developers must be having the time of their lives as they design new apps to fit the screen of the Apple Watch. Just think: how do you even begin to fit the front page of The New York Times onto such a small screen?

According to the official press release, the Times’ editors have had to invent a new form of storytelling that looks like this:

Editors have had to create “one-sentence stories, crafted specially for small screens”. The trick here is that this phenomenon already exists and is currently known as a headline.

Very clever.
