I can't figure out if this article is in support of it happening or not...
He's probably right this will start to creep in. I completely hate it. None of the videos are at all accurate or particularly ethical. They all tip right over in sensationalism and bad journalism.
Besides; we already use animations on western news - for legitimate things (like the oil leak). Dramatizing events we don't know about? Bad idea.
- axod 16y agoPopular news channels (Particularly in the US) stopped being about news a long long time ago. It's entertainment. So this is inevitable on those channels. I agree though, I hate it. It's a shame.
- stcredzero 16y agoArtist renditions of news events have been published in newspapers for a very long time. I know this has been happening in Japan since the 1800's. I suspect this has been happening in the Anericas since the 1700's. What's new here? Is it the risk of photorealistic fabrications?
- ErrantX 16y agoObviously enriching reportage with graphics/animations is a good thing. It's this specific sort that I dislike; badly researched and, essentially, fiction made for mass consumption (and feed our voyeuristic needs :)). Don't get me wrong; if they did the proper research into all of those things and showed a realistic interpretation (the sinking boat, for me, was the closest to this) then good, that's enriching. But I suspect it won't happen like that... :(
- stcredzero 16y agoProbably the majority of the renditions in the Old Japanese papers were voyeuristic. It sells papers. Too bad supporting democracy throughh an informed public isn't as directly connected with profit.
