The exploration of both new narrative forms and possible ways of doing business for reporting and creating documentaries has started to bear fruit in the tablets, with the iPad as the principal ‘promised land’. Let’s take a look at four examples of apps. In this article I wrote for La Vanguardia four cases are shown: Money & Speed: Inside the Black Box, Condition One, Congo, la paix violée and Vía PanAm: A 40-week Journey exploring migration in The Americas.
They are very different to each other; an audiovisual report, with a classic structure and an infographic reconstruction in Money and Speed; immersive video in Condition One; a printed format with video and audio insets in Congo, la paix violée and an ongoing travel diary in Via PanAm.
