<\/a>Staffers from the New York Times share their perspectives on the evolution of journalism, and how technology such as virtual reality is helping drive the change.<\/p><\/div>\n
\u201cVirtual reality can take us places that we don\u2019t get to go with other mediums,\u201d said Marcelle Hopkins, executive producer of the New York Times\u2019<\/em> 360 News<\/em>, during a recent panel discussion along with three other members of the Times\u2019 editorial staff at Samsung 837.<\/p>\nThe discussion, which covered a broad range of topics that illustrated how newsrooms today are evolving as new storytelling mediums pop up, walked the audience through The Times\u2019<\/em> thought process in terms of creating this new storytelling platform, highlighting how VR fits into the overall scope of journalism.<\/p>\nSam Dolnick, associate editor at The New York Times<\/em>, explained how the outlet views VR as a natural complement to traditional journalism, and a way for them to create immersive experiences among the readership.<\/p>\n\u201cVirtual reality isn\u2019t for providing context and analysis,\u201d added Sam, \u201cbut what it does very well is give you a sense of presence.
