[Commlist] Call for papers on Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities in Journalism

***Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities in Journalism: Theory, 
Practice, Critique*

This Brazilian Journalism Research edition paysspecial attention to the 
fluid relationships between journalism, immersive media, and virtual 
worlds, particularly to the progressive hybridity of the relationships 
between the physical and tangible worlds and the emerging forms of 
interaction and immersion through digital media. We are witnessing the 
emergence of augmented reality and mixed realities as narrative media 
for journalism (Pavlik and Bridges, 2013), making an opposition between 
analogue and digital mediation unsustainable within a hybrid media 
culture (Lindgren, 2014). Immersive technologies such as VR, AR, MR or 
even 360-degree video opens the way to immersive storytelling (Doyle, 
Gelman and Gill, 2016; Gynnild et al., 2019, Hardee & McMahan, 2017), 
aimed at offering user a first-person experience of the stories and 
represented realities (De la Peña et al., 2010; Pavlik, 2018). 
Technological convergence has also enabled access to 360-degree videos 
and VR, AR or MR experiences from mobile devices and HMD or VR headsets 
(Aitamurto et al., 2020; Paíno-Ambrosio et al., 2019; Tejedor-Calvo et 
al., 2020). Applied to journalism, immersive technologies introduce an 
"experiential" dimension in news consumption (Pavlik, 2019).

This dossier welcomes research papers from areas such as Journalism, 
Communication, Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Machine Communication
