From the archives: Lessons from game designers

We are sharing resources from the ONA archives throughout 2019, as we celebrate 20 years of inspiring innovation and excellence in digital journalism.

At ONA London in 2016, Lindsay Grace, then the founding director of the American University Game Lab and Studio, outlined how game designers’ approach to engagement can inform journalists’ connections with communities. His inspiring keynote concluded a daylong deep dive into audience engagement that gathered more than 200 people in digital journalism. Watch or listen to the session for tips and examples that focus on empathy, experiences and creating a thirst for knowledge.
