Abstract
Interactive nonfiction offers new narrative possibilities for journalism in a hybrid and developing context. Through mobile devices, in the new media ecosystem, virtual reality takes shape. Immersive journalism grows through these experiences looking for the user’s engagement during the consumption of information. International reference media have recently started the exploration of virtual reality, as it is shown in this article, through mobile apps of virtual reality.
