Immersive Journalism
Today we learn about the immersive journalism which is a new way of reporting. We look at documentary type journalism Which I would say is a better view of what is being reported as It can be a 360 video and viewers are able to pan around and see the environment. I think it will help as when it comes to pain and suffering people will be more aware of the reality of the situation. I watched the poor woman suffering Via 360 video. Panning around the environment still seems more In depth then watching a normal video report.
I experienced a VR environment where a poor woman and her child were in hospital receiving treatment for starvation. She had flies constantly on her face and had no energy to shoo them away. I think this was more engaging and increased empathy.
They still are many disadvantages too immersive journalism the costs, emotional affects, Motion sickness, licences to create And many more.
There are also many great advantages of a massive journalism, Motivation change and realisation oh benefits of this form of journalism.
A 360 video we watched Frontline which was about the reality of prison life. It Was quite interesting, I think this good be good as it could help to make people aware of the realities of prison life.
