This paper presents a qualitative case study of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) in journalism, focusing on three examples produced by news media outlets. The first is the BBC’s Syrian Journey, which depicts the pathways and struggles of Syrian refugees migrating to Europe. The second is the Guardian’s Refugee Challenge, an interactive experience that immerses users in the difficult choices Syrian refugees might face. The third is ProPublica’s Waiting Game, which illustrates the long and uncertain wait for asylum seekers in the U.S. These works were selected to explore the complex societal issue of refugees, reflecting current scholarship that identifies IDN as a powerful tool for addressing such complexity. This paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of how IDN can be applied in journalistic narratives, how journalistic IDN can be defined, and how the selected cases fit within existing IDN literature.

摘要

This paper presents a qualitative case study of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) in journalism, focusing on three examples produced by news media outlets. The first is the BBC’s Syrian Journey, which depicts the pathways and struggles of Syrian refugees migrating to Europe. The second is the Guardian’s Refugee Challenge, an interactive experience that immerses users in the difficult choices Syrian refugees might face. The third is ProPublica’s Waiting Game, which illustrates the long and uncertain wait for asylum seekers in the U.S. These works were selected to explore the complex societal issue of refugees, reflecting current scholarship that identifies IDN as a powerful tool for addressing such complexity. This paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of how IDN can be applied in journalistic narratives, how journalistic IDN can be defined, and how the selected cases fit within existing IDN literature.
