Workshop on Interactive Digital Storytelling in Broadcasting Environment

Abstract

In this workshop, we are going to explore new ways of user interaction that cater to the attention of a distracted audience. One of the challenging aspects we will focus on is the growing user requirement for real-time mobile information and stories anytime and anywhere. This has exerted significant pressure on the importance of new forms of storytelling and information delivery on every target audiences. We will examine how to adopt new forms of digital storytelling in traditional media such as TV broadcasting. The workshop will stimulate discussions and experiences among a broad spectrum of workshop participants, such as researchers, industry, designers, and artists on how to create stories and journalism that think about information delivery in real time. The first part of this workshop consists of presentations submitted to this workshop. Here, potential effects of using digital storytelling in creation and participation of media will be discussed. Furthermore, we will also have presentations on use cases, artistic research and demonstrations of design and storytelling. To foster creativity and discussions among participants, presentations are followed by interactive group-work. Here, participants have the chance to express their ideas and scenarios on how to effectively include audiences' opinion into TV broadcasting. The workshop will be concluded by a panel discussion on the topic of new storytelling perspectives in broadcasting, and will cover aspects of the group-work and presentation of submitted work to the workshop.
