Optional lead paragraph in cover-story
Marc Hornschuh
As a production worker, I want to see a bit more about the content in a preview of a news story before I go to it.
In the cover stories, from the actual news text, the page title, the kicker and when hovering, a dynamically selected first text excerpt are displayed.
In Linchpin Touch this doesn't work, because users with a touch monitor can't hover. Instead of this, it would make sense to be able to display the lead paragraph statically as well, in order to be able to offer touch users a similar experience to normal users.

Arto Kovalainen do your customers already have ideas concerning the design of the tiles that allows for enough space on a tile to display an excerpt?

Angela Gaida: Use case is to create single page with coverstories macro (with one news item + carousel) This page will be used as a Info screen in their cafeteria.
