This book presents a study of the news coverage of extended reality
technologies (virtual, augmented and mixed reality; or XR) and how
this news corresponds with the marketing of XR products. Focusing on a
group of recently emerging technological products, the book offers
in-depth analysis of the news coverage of XR technologies and explores
the overlap between news discourse and promotional discourse by
comparing the way these products are framed in the news and their
marketing materials. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, it
discusses the topics covered in XR news, as well as the sources used
and the specific framing techniques that appear in both XR news and
marketing materials. In addition to these findings, it also provides a
set of frame categories that can be used by other researchers
analysing the media coverage of emerging technologies. Ultimately
arguing that the news represents XR in such a way that treats readers
as consumers instead of citizens, prioritising the interests of XR
companies rather than news audiences, this book will be of interest to
students and researchers in media and communications, discourse
studies, journalism, PR and marketing and innovation studies, as well
as XR practitioners.
