Resumen de Show, don't tell

• Sillesen talks about performed journalism. As news media experiment with new digital content and platforms in attempts to build audience engagement around their brands and products, journalistic live shows such as Pop-Up offer a different lesson, one that seemingly has real potential. This expanding genre, which might be called "performed journalism," uses the old and decidedly non-digital methods of the theater to draw people in. In some ways, these live shows fill the newspaper's historic role as a focal point for its community, a role that has faded as information sources have grown more diffuse.
