More than half the world’s population play some type of video game. Hear insights from Floodlight Gaming and the Center for Collaborative Investigative Journalism about turning reporting into entertaining interactive experiences. Floodlight Gaming launched the first Investigative Journalism Game Jam last year, which gave game developers the opportunity to work directly with investigative reporters to create fictionalised games based on journalism.
Amsterdam-based V-Ventures, the main investment partner with Floodlight Gaming, will tackle the financial and business sides of the journalism/video games intersection, while Good Game Generation, a Barcelona-based video gaming company, will describe how to meaningfully engage with video game developers.
We will share with the audience a 7-step process to turn a journalistic investigation into a video game.
Moderated by Paul Radu.
Organised in association with OCCRP.
