The New York Times lifted the veil Tuesday on its new app for the Apple Watch, one of the first two dozen third-party apps to appear on the App Store.
To feed the tiny screen, according to the official press release, the Times’ editors have invented a new form of storytelling:
One-sentence stories, crafted specially for small screens.”
You might know them by their more familiar name: headlines.
“Editors on three continents,” the paper declares, “will be dedicated to The Times’s core mobile apps, including Watch, 24 hours a day.”
