Getting Started

Welcome to newsPlay. After seeing NYT give the greenlight to Persuasive Games to start creating editorial games for their Times Select readers, I got excited to start covering the phenomenon. Several serious gaming blogs and game design blogs have covered the concept well thus far and they can be found in my blogroll. However, newsPlay’s niche will be to narrow the focus to just newsgames. With that, I hope to provide a resource for journalists that are curious about this form of new media. I’m sure this will all develop over time. We’ll see how it goes.
