Story Package System

My team at Vox Media designed and built a new storytelling product, giving our editorial teams a better way to create and present collections of stories. The first story to launch as a collection was the inaugural “Recode 100” in December 2017, followed by Vox’s “Understanding the Trump Era” in January. Polygon's “Monster Hunter: World” game guide followed a few weeks after that.

While these packages are editorially distinct from one another, they are built on the same template product. A single story can be depicted in multiple ways with different levels of emphasis on story density, navigation, and imagery; and the system is robust enough to power all of our editorial networks, and more than 350 websites.
