1. A method comprising:
- formatting different types of media content data having disparate formats and corresponding to respective sets of media content received from disparate content providers, into media content data in a common format type;
restructuring portions of the media content data in the common format type into restructured renditions having an article-oriented structure defined by the common format type;
for each rendition, generating respective reformatted assets, each reformatted asset being specific to one of a plurality of disparate types of devices, based upon characteristics of the disparate device types;
generating device-indeterminate ID linking data that links respective portions of each rendition with portions of the media content data having disparate formats;
for each of a plurality of users, providing access to information characterizing the renditions in the article-oriented structure, and collecting user inputs pertaining to the information characterizing the renditions; and
transmitting respective portions of the restructured renditions, along with assets corresponding to the respective portion being transmitted, to users at remote user interface circuits based on, for each user;
the collected user inputs,media content access authorization data for the user,the device-indeterminate ID linking data, andcharacteristics of the remote user interface circuit via which the user accesses the media content.

Abstract
As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, media content from disparate content providers is restructured into one or more renditions having an article-oriented structure. Linking data is generated to link respective portions of each rendition with media content in the respective sets of media content. Users are allowed to access information characterizing the renditions in the article-oriented structure, and user inputs pertaining to the information characterizing the media content sets is collected. Portions of each rendition are transmitted to remote users based on the user inputs, authorization data, linking data and characteristics of the remote users'"'"' access.
