With the advent of the internet and handheld or wearable media systems that plunge the user into 360º video, augmented – or virtual reality – technology is changing how stories are told and created. In this book, John V. Pavlik argues that a new form of mediated communication has emerged: experiential news. Experiential media delivers not just news stories but also news experiences where the consumer engages news as a participant or virtual eyewitness. Pavlik delves into developing forms such as virtual reality, haptic technologies, interactive documentaries, and drone media, presenting the principles of how to design and frame a story using these techniques.

How do journalists around the world view their roles and responsibilities in society? Based on a landmark study that has collected data from more than 27,500 journalists in 67 countries, “WORLDS OF JOURNALISM” offers an analysis of the different ways journalists perceive their duties, their relationship to society and government, and the nature, as well as the meaning, of their work. The book covers how journalism as an institution is created and re-created by journalists and how they experience their profession, even as they retain a commitment to some basic, widely shared professional norms and practices.

Puerto Ricans in New York have created a distinct identity both on the island of Puerto Rico and in the cultural landscape of the U.S. Juan Flores considers the uniqueness of Puerto Rican culture and identity in relation to that of other Latino groups in the U.S. – as well as to other minority groups. Architecture and urban space, literary traditions, musical styles and cultural movements provide some of the sites and moments of a cultural world defined by the interplay of continuity and transformation, heritage and innovation, roots and fusion. Flores highlights the rich complexities and fertile contradictions of Latino identity.

Raymond Leslie Williams explores the cultural, political and historical events that have shaped the Latin American and Caribbean novel since the end of World War II.
