Financial news was drowning in complexity, and ECO was done waiting for someone else to fix it. This digital newspaper set out to rethink how financial news is delivered, leading economic insight in Portugal at a time when data-heavy platforms were overwhelming readers. Making editorial depth work at publication speed was uncharted ground.
1
Make financial news accessible to readers without losing depth for experts
2
Publish at speed while maintaining editorial voice across story formats
3
Build reader trust in journalism through clear transparent reporting
Journalists needed flexibility without sacrificing consistency when composing at publication speed. This framework defines content hierarchies and layout typologies for that balance. Content blocks, text, advertising, topics, opinions, and imagery combine within a modular system supporting diverse storytelling while maintaining coherence.





The web and mobile platform translates this system into a fast, mobile-first experience. Smooth interactions and responsive layouts adapt naturally across devices, making content accessible and easy to navigate. The interface lets the editorial team publish and evolve content in real time.
