For the most part, AR is making headway through face filters and ephemeral content like Snapchat’s Dancing Hot Dog. But how might this technology be used for non-fiction/journalism stories around homelessness, immigration and other serious topics? This panel I organized brought innovative journalists from diverse media organizations who are pioneering ways to incorporate this technology into their type of storytelling.

The panelists were:

  • Marcelle Hopkins (Co-Director of Immersive Journalism, The New York Times)
  • Elite Truong (Deputy Editor, Strategic Initiatives, The Washington Post)
  • Chaitanya Shah (Developer, Emblematic Group)

    • Moderated by Robert Hernandez (Digital Professor/Founder, USC Annenberg/JOVRNALISM)
