This paper describes an ongoing design project relating to online news and how alterations to news stories are hidden from the reader. As the delivery and consumption of news content online continues to overtake other channels in reader numbers and market penetration, so methods of transparency and reliability developed over centuries continue also to be tested by digital media. We have carried out content analysis on existing stories and developed low fidelity prototypes and an interaction model to test the design approach. The outcomes are in production and will result in a digital artifact that reveals editorial changes to news items. The implications of the project relate to the wider question of news truth-telling, trust and online news credibility.
