Different articles for different readers

This weekend, a friend of mine said reading the news was difficult because they felt like they were not caught up on the news. So jumping into the middle of a news saga was quite difficult.

What if each news resource could restructure an article based on what else you have already read? So, if I have been following a story closely, it will float the most important parts to the top, or only make those parts visible.

But, if this the first time I’m reading about an oil spill, it will give me much more background and detail.

I need to sketch this out, but right now I only have a few minutes to get the idea down in text.
