In an era where technology is at the forefront of all relevant innovation, convenience has taken precedence over design and quality. Now more than ever, it is paramount that a reader or consumer connect with a given story. Oxford NHS Foundation Trust’s presentation titled, “Sensory Processing, Children’s Community Occupational Therapy,” defines sensory processing as, “the ability to register, discriminate, adapt and respond appropriately, both physically and emotionally to sensory input from our bodies and the environment,” (Oxford NHS fund, 3). Referring to mediums for news and information consumption, digital media is the gold standard for connection and sensory-stimulating input, resulting in heightened societal expectations of sensory stimulation on a daily basis. This phenomenon caused a gradual decline in demand for print media. Furthermore, a general preference for engaging digital media implies that media publications must meet consumer demand by improving storytelling techniques with engaging stimuli and dynamic production quality. Thus, storytelling expertise and sensory stimulation input is now the crux of the ever-evolving journalism industry. Storytelling becoming the essence of engaging journalism means that digital media and sensory stimulation input is now, consequently, the key to an undisputed hard-hitting piece of journalism.
