The power of immersive journalism
Immersive journalism is a novel way to utilise gaming platforms and virtual environments to convey news, documentary and non-fiction stories. But are newsrooms, broadcasters and brands getting to grips with this opportunity?
Some of the latest trends in VR journalism are assessed by the media correspondent Ian Burrell in Virtual and Augmented Reality, a supplement published by the Raconteur section of the London Times on 5 October 2016. In Burrell’s article, Louis Jebb, founder and CEO of immersiv.ly, comments on the significance of large publishers, including The New York Times and Facebook/Oculus, recently creating company-wide executive producer roles for the oversight of news and non-entertainment VR content. On the day the Raconteur report was published, this trend was reinforced when The Guardian announced the formation of an in-house VR news team.
