The aim of this book is to distill the lessons learned thus far into a useful guide for reporters, filmmakers and writers interested in telling stories in this emerging medium. Examining ground-breaking work across industries, this text explains, in practical terms, how storytellers can create their own powerful immersive experiences as new media and platforms emerge.

<p>Product Description      An anthology by Hostwriter and CORRECTIV. The book's Editor-in-Chief is Tina Lee, and the volume features a foreword by Tabea Grzeszyk. "Diversity is not about political correctness. It's about quality journalism." For Unbias the News: Why Diversity Matters for Journalism, 31 reporters spanning the globe, from Brazil to Tajikistan, were asked to write about barriers to greater diversity and inclusion in the newsroom. The result is a collection of eye-opening, personal and refreshing takes on how journalism needs to change to reflect our society. For members of the media interested in regaining public trust and telling better, more accurate stories to their audience, taking another look at diversity is essential. This book will help people recognize their own blind spots: what stories they are emphasizing and which they may be neglecting to tell at all. The book features original illustrations by artist Moshtari Hilal, who was commissioned to create the works based on the articles in the book. Hostwriter is an award-winning network that helps journalists to easily collaborate across borders. CORRECTIV is the first non-profit research center in the German-speaking world. They also publish books on topics related to journalism and society.      Review      "All white men in journalism should read this book" ("Am besten, alle weißen Männer im Journalismus lesen dieses Buch.") From review by Ebru Tasdemir in German daily taz, September 3, 2019"From missing valuable stories to not representing audiences we serve, lack of diversity has a real impact on the quality of reporting. Bringing different voices to the newsroom is now crucial for the survival of our industry." Marcela Kunova, Journalism.co.uk, August 29, 2019      From the Back Cover      In journalism, white, male, Western voices still dominate and are often privileged over others, which means that we are not getting the whole story, or the most accurate one. At Hostwriter, we asked journalists to tell us about the barriers they face in their field and potential ways to fix them. Our colleagues around the globe - from Brazil to Zimbabwe, Tajikistan to the Philippines, and China to the U.S. - contributed stories that are surprising, funny and sometimes infuriating, directly addressing the challenges to making journalism more diverse. The result is a field guide to unbiasing the newsroom and a launchpad for a new kind of journalism that looks more like the society it serves.</p>
