Why IT journalists are required to play computer games

According to the American professor Larry Pryor, who teaches students at the famous Annenberg School of Communication, beginning journalists should be actively involved in virtual three-dimensional worlds. And not just to acquaint them with a new reality, but to force them to live in it for some time, to study its principles of existence, that is, to dive there with head.

This kind of “multi-sensory presentation” allows journalists to expand their perception of the world and better understand how advances in science and technology can change our lives. Not only in the distant future, but very soon. This is absolutely necessary knowledge for a journalist who writes on IT-topics.

Computer games develop the thinking of a journalist. As Professor Pryor says, “the goal is to use immersive gaming techniques as“ thought amplifiers ”... For journalists, this means using a new vocabulary, a new metalanguage.”
