2. IMMERSIVE JOURNALISM
Basics
IMMERSIVE JOURNALISM is a novel way to utilize
gaming platforms and virtual environments to convey
news, documentary and non-fiction stories.
These platforms provide the user an immersive
experience that can offer unprecedented access
to the sights and sounds, and possibly feelings and
emotions that accompany the news.
3. IMMERSIVE JOURNALISM
Basics
WHAT IS IMMERSIVE JOURNALISM?
• Immersive Journalism puts the audience at a
virtual reconstruction of the scene.
• Visual and audio material from good
“boots on the ground” and investigative
journalism work as both primary material and to
inform the reconstruction like any news
piece/documentary.
• The sense of presence that comes with
immersive virtual reality offers a visceral
experience that communicates to several
senses.

Background
WALTER CRONKITE
Journalism has always tried to carry the reader or audience
to where the reporting is taking place, which
Martha Gellhorn called “The view from the ground.”
Consider the Cronkite series of films made
between 1953 and 1957…
“YOU ARE THERE!”
13. IMMERSIVE JOURNALISM
Background
DOCUMENTARY GAMES:
One of Survivor 911‟s developers, Jeff Cole,
states that:
“the game itself is not really a game at all … (it)
keeps no score or actual track of time. It is merely
a moment caught in time”
From Tracy Fullerton‟s:
Documentary Games: Putting the Player in
the Path of History

AVATAR EXPERIENCE
Informing our Efforts:
Studies providing evidence of the connection
between the sense of one‟s physical body
to the virtual one
it seems that we are hardwired to adopt
representations of ourselves as real -

Virtual Guantanamo Bay Prison
The documentary
“Unconstitutional”
was transformed during
a residency at BAVC:
“to translate an existing,
significant
documentary project
into digital media”

The FOIA obtained
interrogation logs
of Al Qahtani were
altered from the
passive to active
voice. For
example, „SGT R
makes the
detainee stand up
and
sit down 3 times,‟
was read as „Sit
down! Stand up!‟
in succession
three times.
26. IMMERSIVE JOURNALISM
Does this immersive journalism
experience raise questions about
journalistic integrity
due to subjectivity of experience
and editorial control?
