Virtual reality offers journalists the ability to immerse readers in situations they wouldn't have access to. But how can journalists create innovative narrative journalism to match this exciting new technology?
Join us as we partner with the duPont-Columbia Awards and the Brown Institute for Media Innovation at the Columbia Journalism School for a May 26th panel all about reporting using virtual reality.
You'll also get to see virtual reality journalism in action. We'll have one Oculus Rift goggle for attendees to demo and several other iPhone versions.
