The Digital Landscape –What’s Next for News? — from spotlight.macfound.org
Harvards’s Nieman Reports weighs in on the future of journalism, including how young people are using technology as consumers and producers of information and how news organizations are looking to gaming as a way to engage audiences. Plus: evidence that journalism is not dying.
The new digital landscape, writes Melissa Ludtke, Neiman Reports editor, is “a place where game playing thrives and augmented reality tugs at possibilities. It’s where video excels, while the appetite for long-form text and the experience of ‘deep reading’ is diminished, and it’s where the allure of multitasking greets the crush of information.”
