Most forms of Web journalism take long-existing news media formats like video, audio, photographs and transfer them to the Web. We'll instead look at how audiences can engage with news developments and complex policy stories by using games and quizzes as a form of interactive storytelling. Amanda Hickman, the director of BuzzFeed's Open Lab for Journalism, Technology, and the Arts; and Sandeep Junnarkar, the director of Interactive Journalism at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, will explore what types of stories lend themselves to game/quiz projects, and then help you conceptualize the basics of building news games and quizzes that make complex policies more accessible to audiences.
