MRG Seminar: Nonny de la Peña on Immersive journalism

Nonny de la Peña, Senior Research Fellow, Immersive Journalism, USC Annenberg School of Journalism (California, USA)

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 complement and extend reporting in traditional news media. She will also present Gone Gitmo, a virtual Guantanamo Bay Prison, and IPSRESS, an experience using head mounted display technology, as potential prototypes of immersive journalism.
