Great news for those who are interested in Immersive Journalism and want to learn more about this new media.

3 things they propose:

  • In-depth Content: On Medium, Journalism 360 will host a range of case studies, explainers and analyses on subjects such as narrative techniques, editing video, ethics and more;
  • Learning: Online and in-person workshops, events and trainings to encourage more journalists, journalism educators and newsrooms to use tools available from various technology platforms to explore emerging forms of visual storytelling and to engage users;
  • Funding: (!!! HOORAY !!! FUNDING!!!) In 2017, Knight and Google will launch an immersive storytelling challenge fund that will award grants ranging from $5,000 to $35,000 for great ideas that will advance the collective understanding of these new forms including narratives, ethics, production and other issues. More information about when and how to apply for these grants is coming soon.

Great to know that those things are happening so quickly!
