State your hypothesis, tying your project back to the impact it might have.

Square thumbnails would increase engagement with our homepage, especially with some lesser-used sections like the politics, arts and culture, and science and environment verticals at the bottom of the page. It would also help us promote new pocast episodes, TOL segments or even KMHD.

What problem are we trying to solve for our communities with this experiment? How might it help us better serve them?

A square thumbnail option would add visual diversity to our homepage. For example, square thumbnails could help us differentiate digital content such as new podcast episodes from news stories. They could also help us create more compact, attention-grabbing story card feeds.

Lay out the potential project steps to the best of your ability, including key teams that would need to be consulted. This is your best knowledge of the systems, tools and lift that would be required.
  • Digital platform developers would need to build the feature.

  • Digital producers would need training on how to utilize square thumbnails.

  • Digital producers, product, creative services and platform developers would need to collaborate on where square thumbnails fit within our design language.
