Abstract

This study aims to disentangle how exactly immersive journalism (IJ) relates to a spectrum of democratically relevant engaging outcomes. To do so, I consider a potentially engaging dimension of IJ: interactivity and a resulting “sense of agency.” In a pre-registered laboratory experiment ( N = 150), I test the effect of exposure to IJ productions that vary in their range of interactivity on a spectrum of participatory intentions and behaviors. Results indicate that a medium level—but not a high level—of interactivity in IJ enhances participation in, but not participation through, journalism. In addition, presence, rather than agency, facilitates participative intentions.

沉浸式新闻中的互动性对参与媒体和通过媒体参与的影响

本研究旨在厘清身临其境新闻（IJ）与一系列民主相关的参与结果之间的关系。为此，我考虑了 IJ 的一个潜在参与维度：互动性和由此产生的 "代入感"。在一个预先注册的实验室实验中（N = 150），我测试了接触不同互动范围的 IJ 作品对一系列参与意图和行为的影响。结果表明，IJ 中中等水平的互动性（而非高水平的互动性）会增强对新闻业的参与，但不会增强通过新闻业的参与。此外，临场感而非代入感促进了参与意愿。
