Can we use gaming and virtual experiences to report the news?
Nonny de la Peña will talk about “immersive journalism,” a novel way to utilize gaming platforms and virtual environments to convey news, documentary and non-fiction stories. She will discuss how these platforms might offer audiences an immersive experience that can compliment and extend reports in traditional media such as television, radio, print or online journals and blogs. She will also discuss her plans to prototype several journalism stories using this form of spatial narrative this year at USC.
Tuesday, September 15 12:00 Noon in the Annenberg School of Communications Geoff Cowan Forum, ASC 207
