Journalism in the Age of Virtual Reality

Best American Magazine Writing 2018

How Experiential Media Are Transforming News John V. Pavlik

Troubling Transparency

Edited by Sid Holt for the American Society of Magazine Editors

$30.00 / £24.00 paper 978-0-231-18449-6 $90.00 / £70.00 cloth 978-0-231-18448-9

In a time of reckoning with wrongdoing in high places, this year’s National Magazine Awards finalists and winners focus on abuse of power in all its forms. Ronan Farrow’s Pulitzer Prize–winning revelation of Harvey Weinstein’s depredations (New Yorker), along with Rebecca Traister’s charged commentary for New York and Laurie Penny’s incisive Longreads columns, speak to the urgency of the #MeToo moment. Ginger Thompson’s reports on the botched operation that triggered a cartel massacre in Mexico (National Geographic/ProPublica) and Azmat Khan and Anand Gopal’s New York Times Magazine story investigates civilian casualties of drone strikes in Iraq. Responding to the overt racism of the Trump era, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah analyzes Dylann Roof, the South Carolina shooter, and white supremacist terrorism in a Pulitzer-winning profile (GQ), and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “My President Was Black” (Atlantic) looks back at the meaning of Obama.

John V. Pavlik argues that a new form of mediated communication has emerged: experiential news. Pavlik describes and analyzes new tools and approaches that allow journalists to tell stories that go beyond text and image. He delves into developing forms such as virtual reality, haptic technologies, interactive documentaries, and drone media, presenting the principles of how to design and frame a story using these techniques. Pavlik warns that although experiential news can heighten user engagement, it may also fuel the transformation of fake news into artificial realities, and he discusses the standards of ethics and accuracy needed to build public trust in journalism in the age of virtual reality.

Losing Ourselves in Sharing Ourselves

How the Need to Win Audiences Has Shaped Higher Education

“From his vantage point as director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, Joel Simon has worked tirelessly to get kidnapped or imprisoned reporters freed. He’s campaigned globally for justice in cases of murdered journalists. In The New Censorship, he warns us of new threats – like the insidious information management techniques of “democratators” Vladimir Putin and Recip Tayyip Erdogan. Simon’s prescriptions for how to counter these new challenges are wise and insightful. He offers hope to all who care about maintaining the free flow of information in a world full of would-be censors.”―Ann Cooper, Columbia Journalism School

Inside the Global Battle for Media Freedom

2018 288 pages

“Powers has produced a landmark study of one of the complex high-stakes dynamics shaping the future of journalism. NGOs as Newsmakers is a work of theoretical nuance and empirical rigor that spotlights the ways NGOs are fueling important and original reporting while also nourishing stereotypes and power dynamics inherent to traditional news practices that have hemmed in reporting.” ―Adrienne Russell, University of Washington

Telling the Truth, Taking Sides

This book is a collection of essays written in tribute to N. Ram, journalist, writer, and person of the Left. Its title reflects Ram’s concern that journalism, and indeed intellectual endeavor, be both informative and credible and committed to the social good.

The Changing Landscape of International News

“Is transparency part of the solution or part of the problem of modern democracy?

Bringing together some of the world’s leading scholars and practitioners of transparency law, this volume reassesses where we stand fifty years after enactment of the Freedom of Information Act. Its essays offer critical reflections, affirmative fixes, and comparative evaluations, ultimately shedding invaluable light on the romantic notion that sunlight is the best disinfectant.” ―David Cole, National Legal Director, ACLU, Professor, Georgetown University Law Center

Media U

How the Need to Win Audiences Has Shaped Higher Education Mark Garrett Cooper and John Marx “This book powerfully demonstrates that universities have been media institutions all along, well before the mobile phone and the MOOC. Cooper and Marx challenge us to consider what is at stake when universities approach the educated class as an “audience” and what mindsets and strategies they deploy in the process. Provocative and timely, Media U is bound to stir up discussion and debate.”—Lisa Parks, Massachusetts Institute of Technology $30.00 / £24.00 paper 978-0-231-18637-7
