"Playing the News"
An ONA pre-convention workshop on news games and interactive exercises
Thursday, Sept. 11, 2008 • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Capital Hilton • Washington, D.C.
Sponsored by J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism.
Supported by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.
When does a news "experience" tell the story better than a news "story"? This daylong workshop focuses on what's happening in the world of news games – from election, budget, environmental and other exercises. We'll look at the creation, usefulness and ethics of news games and searchable databases. And we'll hear from both the journalists and the programmers who build the games.
