Experience-value in the context of experiential journalism

Abstract

A rapid overview on contemporary journalism strategies points to a reinforcement of ideas of “experience” and “experimentation.” The recurrence with which these concepts have been employed in various
scientific and professional domains attests to its importance in relation to cyberjournalistic contents, especially using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. This article discusses the experience in this panorama, taking into account two spheres: one, which concerns the experimentation of journalism as the scope of production, and the second, as far as the
reader/user experience is concerned. The analysis was carried out in reference journals such as Folha de S. Paulo, The New York Times and The Guardian. The conclusion points out that an instance is manifested in the production and enjoyment of journalistic contents that we
can define as experience-value.
