This book sets out cutting-edge new research and examines future
prospects on 360-degree video, virtual reality (VR), and augmented
reality (AR) in journalism, analyzing and discussing virtual world
experiments from a range of perspectives. Featuring contributions from
a diverse range of scholars, Immersive Journalism as
Storytelling highlights both the opportunities and the challenges
presented by this form of storytelling. The book discusses how
immersive journalism has the potential to reach new audiences, change
the way stories are told, and provide more interactivity within the
news industry. Aside from generating deeper emotional reactions and
global perspectives, the book demonstrates how it can also diversify
and upskill the news industry. Further contributions address the
challenges, examining how immersive storytelling calls for reassessing
issues of journalism ethics and truthfulness, transparency, privacy,
manipulation, and surveillance, and questioning what it means to cover
reality when a story is told in virtual reality. Chapters are grounded
in empirical data such as content analyses and expert interviews
alongside insightful case studies that discuss Euronews, Nonny de la
Peña’s Project Syria, and The New York Times’ VR application
NYTVR. This book is written for journalism teachers, educators, and
students as well as scholars, politicians, lawmakers, and citizens
with an interest in emerging technologies for media practice.
