Help shape the future of Defence’s service newspapers

BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’

The Defence News Bureau is seeking volunteers to take part in user research to help shape the new digital platform for the Navy, Army and Air Force newspapers.

The current service newspapers have existed in their familiar print format since the late 1940s, replicated as a digital flipbook, for the past 15 years.

With more readers now accessing news online, Defence is working to develop a more modern, accessible and engaging digital experience to complement the printed newspaper, and we need your help.

What is involved?

Participants will join a 45-60-minute Microsoft Teams session to: 

·      view and test a prototype of the new service newspaper website 

·      share thoughts on the design, layout and usability 

·      be asked a few follow-up questions about the experience.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a mix of: 

·      permanent ADF members across all services and ranks 

·      reservists

·      veterans.

How to volunteer
