The J Word 2.1: Clickbait & Collation: What Works for Online News?
Manage episode 341998836 series 3398027
One of the ways journalists engage audiences online is also one of the things we hate about the internet – clickbait, headlines that draw us in but that often undersell the story. But is it possible clickbait could actually be a good thing? We connect this discussion to other forms of engagement through tech, including news aggregation and VR to understand the changing roles of editing old and new forms of media. And, in the end, to understand what works in terms of drawing users in through headlines, collating news, and adding emotion to immersive storytelling.
Our guests include Fred Vultee, Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at Wayne State University in the US, Nili Steinfeld, a Lecturer in The School of Communication at Ariel University in Israel, and Logan Molyneux, Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism at Temple University in the US.
