Virtual Environments (VEs) open new possibilities for journalism. The advanced technology, which still resides mostly in laboratories, only requires adaptation and the imagination that can enable journalists to think with technology. The literature of VE theory shows the possibility exists to create alternative worlds that invite the public to share knowledge necessary for rational policy decisions. Our research has looked at using head-mounted displays to tell news stories, and we have worked with a multi-user 360° panoramic display. A project is now under way to use immersive techniques to model port expansions in Southern California. We will also seek to find ways to distribute this visual information across individual, community and institutional audiences.

IT has indeed transformed every field – and journalism is no different. I have a friend who is a freelance journalist with a bachelor's degree in IT and a master's in journalism. Her latest service includes both the aspects – the IT one and the journalism one, and it's doing pretty well. I think this combination is a good one, and professionals should consider mastering both sides.
