Περίληψη

The introduction of emerging technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and immersive media has brought about transformative changes in the operations of news organizations and their relationship with audiences. This study explores the transformation of journalism through the lens of XR technologies and the dynamic participation of audiences in the news-making process. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes how these technologies influence journalistic storytelling, empathy, and audience trust, with a particular focus on Generation Z as key users of immersive environments. The paper proposes a new communication ecosystem in which immersive experiences enhance transparency, democratic engagement, and ethical accountability, while also highlighting the challenges media organizations face in adapting to these shifts.
