Future of Journalism - Ep 22 - Zillah Watson

Future of Journalism – a series by the Alliance for Journalists' Freedom

Where does journalism fit into the metaverse? And what is the metaverse beyond a concept? Well, it’s tomorrow’s internet -- a convergence of virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital currencies, and 5G. It is predicted to reshape the way people live, work and play, and with immersive content, how we get, or experience, new information.

For our #FutureOfJournalism series, the AJF's Peter Wilkinson talked to Zillah Watson, a London-based consultant on VR and immersive content. Previously, she had a long career with the BBC as a producer, digital strategist, and, most recently, as the head of the VR Hub.
