“…Since its introduction in professional practice and in scholarly inquiry, immersive journalism has been promoted as a novel form and an alternative way of presenting and producing news content in such a way that it allows users to experience first-hand the places and events depicted in news stories [9], thus, allowing for a more immersive experience of proximity. Admitting as a premise that a news story structure is how the content of a narrative is organized in order to be conveyed to the audience [71], our findings suggest that immersive journalism, anchored in the development of emerging cinematic technologies, is stimulating an evolving (re)articulation between digital media representational properties and journalistic narrativity, i.e., how the story is told.…”

Immersive journalism has been promoted as an alternative way of producing content that allows users to experience first-hand the events depicted in the news story. This mixed-method study examines how immersive journalism impacts the user experience of non-fictional narratives in news practices. A between-subject experiment (n = 104) was conducted to inspect the effects of system immersion on place illusion and co-presence. Using a 360-degree video news report produced by the Spanish newspaper El País as a stimulus, two viewing conditions were compared: magic window and 360 degree with a VR headset. The results show that VR technologies determine the effective potential of immersive journalism, namely the experience of place illusion and co-presence and that audiences do not actually explore the so-called whole picture, as a 90–180° movement for exploration prevailed.

“…Indeed, journalists talk to a range of sources when compiling a news media source and must decide not only who to quote but also the order in which their sources should be presented (Manning, 2001). Generally, news media articles are written in an inverted-pyramid style where the most important information is presented at the beginning of an article followed by the supporting, less important details (Vicente, 2019). As such, the sources that are quoted first are given a position of authority as they serve as the "primary definers" of the topic (Manning, 2001).…”

Several studies have shown that female experts are seldom quoted within news media coverage about health and science issues. Yet, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent race for a vaccine, female health and science workers (broadly defined) were at the forefront of the discovery, testing, and implementation of several vaccinations. This study examines the extent to which female experts were represented in news coverage about the vaccine over a 2-year period in The New York Times ( n = 1978). Of the expert sources quoted (3,555), the majority were male ( n = 2417) as compared to female ( n = 1138). This pattern held when looking specifically at researchers and medical experts. When both a male and female source were quoted, however, females were quoted first, suggesting that females were given the role of being a primary rather than supporting expert. Implications and future directions are discussed.

“…The conceptualization of news as storytelling represented a turning point from journalism as an objective mirror of reality toward more refined sociological and anthropological constructs of journalism as a professional occupation and culture (e.g., Bird;Dardenne, 1988;Tuchman, 1972). Story structures, as the organizational properties of a coherent narrative (Vicente, 2018), became thus fundamental devices in the social construction of reality, a key theory expressed by Berger and Luckmann (1967) in which meaning is embedded through social interaction.…”

This article presents the findings from an experimental study on the use of binaural audio in two long-form journalistic features broadcast on Portuguese radio. From a production and narrative design perspective, our objective is to examine whether/how binaural audio implies a transformation of previously established news radio production work principles and practices, as well as of storytelling ideation and techniques. From a user experience viewpoint, we examine whether the use of binaural audio translates into higher levels of self-reported immersion and place illusion (n = 77). Despite the spread of new audio journalism formats, media and communication studies have until now largely neglected the role of spatial audio in the construction of immersion and the illusion of place. We argue that this epistemic omission translates into an image-centric conception and operationalization of the immersive journalism proposal, which stands out as a knowledge gap regarding the work of journalistic storytellers and relating to participants’ actual experience. The original contribution of this article is threefold: (1) conceptual, by broadening the perspective of journalism studies’ scholars and media professionals on the concept of immersive journalism, which, in our view, is often incorrectly considered to be synonymous with that of virtual reality journalism; (2) practical, by generating a more nuanced understanding of how actual practitioners perceive and employ immersive journalism; (3) phenomenological, by developing an examination of the factors that influence listeners’ ultimate perception of the immersive experience.
