As news content moves from desktop to mobile devices and the expectations of real-time information increases, audiences are beginning to seek news visualizations for their on-the-go, fast-paced lives, and to view them on a variety of devices in a variety of contexts. These have created important challenges from a visualization and content perspective that we aim to address in this cross-discipline workshop.The goals of this workshop are:

• To explore the challenges and opportunities for presenting and interacting with visualizations on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), focusing on new presentation patterns and gesture controls via touch and other modalities.
• To explore the workflow, design and production challenges of creating visualizations for breaking-news, focusing on tools and techniques.
• Understand the differences between traditional visualizations and news visualizations for storytelling .

This workshop aims to attract visualization scholars, journalism theorists, journalists, user experience researchers, graphic designers, data scientists, statisticians, and programmers interested in information visualizations for news, as a way to continue the cross-discipline community that has emerged, with a new focus.
