Immersive Journalism

New Frontier Gateway
136 Heber Ave.
Monday, January 25, noon–1:30 p.m.

Immersive journalism has had a recent explosion since The New York Times sent out one million virtual reality cardboard devices, turning what was once a rarely used term coined by Nonny de la Peña into a new form of journalism that could potentially go mainstream. ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian are also exploring the medium.

What are the implications and possibilities for this medium? Is there a new set of ethics we need to consider? And how are practitioners approaching creating content? This discussion includes Nonny de la Peña (CEO, Emblematic Group), Dan Silver (executive producer, ABC News Digital), Ben Solomon (video correspondent, The New York Times), Sandy Smolan (co-director, Click Effect), and moderator Ingrid Kopp (senior consultant, Tribeca Film Institute).

Panelists:
Nonny de la Peña (CEO, Emblematic Group)
Dan Silver (executive producer, ABC News Digital)
Sandy Smolan (co-director, Click Effect)
Ben Solomon (video correspondent, The New York Times)

Moderated by Ingrid Kopp (senior consultant, Tribeca Film Institute)

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
