Abstract

The article is devoted to the virtual reality journalism format. The development of a new media format leads to the transformation of traditional journalistic genres, in particular reportage. The main value of virtual reality for journalism is the ability to enhance the presence effect, which secures the strength of emotional connections between the viewer and events covered in the reportage. The dynamics of the story in the format of VR-technology causes the change of competence of the journalist.
