Virtual reality is closing the gap between audiences and news headlines, ushering in a new age of immersive journalism. Audiences are no longer merely reading stories but actually experiencing them, and in the process gaining a greater sense of empathy. Panelists will discuss best practices for involving audiences in nonfiction stories, and how immersive journalism can help shine a light on important societal issues.
Participants to be announced in the coming weeks.
