Abstract

This article analyzes the status of immersive journalism in Spain by studying the contents in virtual reality published by two media: El País and RTVE. Grounding on the available theoretical contributions on the scientific literature in the topic, an analysis framework has been elaborated and applied to the analysis of 75 pieces in virtual reality. The results show that the production relies on technologies highly accessible to the users and with low cost, but with a very limited potential for interactivity. Immersive journalism in Spain is still at a stage of formal experimentation and development of its own language.
