These mobile-firsts sites are light-weight, responsive and built to meet the needs of the network’s African audiences, which are increasingly turning to mobile for news and information. Posts on the sites are shorter and designed to be shared on social media outlets. The VOA editorial teams chose not to write lengthy text articles, but instead create highly visual graphics, interactives, illustrations and multimedia stories that show what is happening at the World Cup in an engaging way.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sites are developed using popular open source software, WordPress and AngularJS while newer technologies like \u003ca href=\"http://d3js.org/\"\u003eD3JS\u003c/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http://nodejs.org/\"\u003eNodeJS\u003c/a\u003e and websockets are being used to deliver live match scores and statistics in real-time to users on mobile devices, often in low-bandwidth areas of the world.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigitalGov innovators should also know VOA journalists on the ground in Brazil have a new tool to help them report on World Cup events. “Relay,” was created by the Office of Digital and Design Innovation using the Drupal open content management framework to allow individual journalists to publish text, photos and video through email via a mobile device without the need to login to a complex CMS or rely on teams of editors and producers.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs agencies look to reach their audiences on mobile device while still delivering detailed data and rich media experiences, technologies like Node, designed for fast, responsive, mobile experiences, will be critical to developing succesfull applications. The BBG is making its World Cup work and many of its other projects available to government agencies and the open source community through its GitHub page, \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/bbginnovate\"\u003eBBGInnovate\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDon’t forget: You can download cool mobile government apps with just a few clicks from our \u003ca href=\"http://apps.usa.gov/\"\u003eUSA.gov Apps Gallery\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2014/06/600-x-461-cameroon-capture.jpg\"\n    alt=\"Broadcasting Board of Governors BBG Voice of America VOA Relay Tool\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRandy Abramson\u003c/strong\u003e is the Director of Audio/Video Products and Strategy and \u003cstrong\u003eAdam Martin\u003c/strong\u003e is the Director of Technology and Innovation at the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).
