Leveraging virtual reality (VR) for sports public relations and sports journalism
Advancements in experiential media (EM) technologies, particularly virtual reality (VR), a subset of EM, can transform the ways public relations (PR) professions tell stories about a brand, organization, or mega-events.

However, considering the novelty of such EM tools, limited studies have foc…
Stage 2
Stage 2 involved news media starting to create original content for online delivery. During this stage, news media moved past simply repackaging their analog content. By the late 1990s and early 2000s, most news media were online. They typically published their content on websites, which were generally offered free to the public, and the common refrain was, information wants to be free. This stage was problematic for many news media as, during th…

Surviving local news media have reduced their print publication cyc…

Adapting to disruption
News media leadership of the late 20th century largely failed to realize that technology, economics, and culture were deeply disrupting the foundation of journalism in western civilization. From the 1970s to the 1990s, when online, computerized communications were on the ascent, most news media did little more than dabble in producing and delivering news in online form. A few industry pioneers recognized the tsunami that would soon overwhelm much…
Stage 3
Beginning in the late 1990s, Stage 3 has been significantly on the ascent since about 2010, when a series of news media around the globe produced and published online original interactive and immersive news content, including some augmented reality (A.R.) and virtual reality (V.R.) news reports.
