💡 #Journalism trends in 2025

Keeping users front and center is becoming a prerequisite in journalism and content production. Can the same approach be beneficial in community engagement as well?

It's not fun to withhold info you could easily provide upfront, and force a user to give a lot of data before finding out if it's even worth doing.

The top three frustrations from a parent using resale clothes apps for children's clothes:

1. “I can’t trust the photos”
2. “ Shipping takes forever”
3. “No returns, and high stress as a result”

Accelerate #publicService delivery with service patterns:

At the #UserNeeds First conference in Amsterdam, Betty Mwema, @laurenceberry.bsky.social and Stefan Draškić ran a workshop on GovStack #servicePatterns.

Their input part was recorded.

In other news, have now had about 10 notifications, across email and text, about a DHL delivery. It's not late or cancelled. Why so many?

All that's needed is a timeframe in advance, and a delivery tracker on the day.

Those are the same things as my bullet points! 😆

Yes, I had to consider if it was real or not. For me the lack of dot in the GOV UK url is what gave me initial pause! That's interesting, as the new logo makes the url slightly less implicit.

I would just like to state, for the record, that the "Everyone Active" website is the least user-friendly in existence.

Did you know I've created an online course in user-centred design? It's modular, self-paced, and currently on offer at £55 until 31 March.

Share it with your CEO! Or a team lead with spare training budget to use up?

Show me your #UCD -mature orgs! Can we get 30??

You know, orgs who already "get it": who put time and resources into researching #UserNeeds, #usability testing prototypes, iterating until a #design is usable and fit for purpose..

Know a UCD-mature org? Have a reason to believe it is? Please share.

The theme of my week is this: yes I can write you those words. But, with no plan for figuring out what you need me to write or who will maintain my words afterwards, I’m pretty reluctant. What’s the theme of yours? #UserNeeds

Well, now we all have a day to work together on that always underappreciated activity - maintenance.
