… and the ‘The Digital Newsstand’

Scott Walker works Monday to Friday as the assistant managing editor at the Birmingham News, Alabama’s largest newspaper. In his spare time he created this design project that transformed an old newspaper box into ‘The Digital Newsstand’. The project replaces the window with an lcd monitor that is hooked up to a computer inside the box. The screen is now used to display a variety of newspaper front pages that walker personally worked on. In addition, Walker programmed the computer to provide news updates and play music through hidden speakers inside. All in all, the project offers a new way to view the news that blends the old fashioned newspaper standand digital technology.
