Conceptualizing immersive journalism, 2019:ECIP galley (The term "immersive journalism" was first launched in a seminal article in 2010 by a team of researchers from journalism, psychology and human computer interaction disciplines led by Nonny de la Peña. In their article, the researchers presented a series of experiments with virtual reality (VR, which can be defined as a real or simulated environment in which a perceiver experiences telepresence) and its potential applications for journalism. These experiments showed how VR could produce exactly the scenario wished for above: the vicarious reliving of a news event with the full body, in an experience where one would feel more present and thereby more encouraged to understand a news event one cared about. The promise of immersive journalism is that being virtually at the location and feeling present with the subjects of the news will increase the understanding of a situation in ways that traditional formats cannot; A decade after the term immersive journalism was first proposed by De la Peña and her colleagues, most major news organizations have produced immersive journalism, e.g., The New York times, CNN, Al-Jazeerah and The Guardian)
