We talk with Zahra Rasool (@RXahra) all about Al Jazeera’s newly-announced immersive media studio, @ContrastVR. She gives us insight into how she’s thinking about immersive journalism plus a window into Al Jazeera’s two-pronged approach: producing a series of cinematic-quality 360 documentaries while building out the 360 production capabilities of their local brands around the world. Zahra tells us about the 360 doc series currently in production, and we also address how she’s thinking about distribution/subject matter differently depending on where the project falls on the spectrum of varying production quality - http://contrastvr.com/
