Larry Dailey presented some information on what he described as serious games within Journalism. He showed off some interesting web games students had made, such as an electoral votes US map puzzle, and quiz the candidates on issues game. I learned that although some games are old, they still have relevance today and are still played quite a bit. On the journalism side of serious games I gathered from the lecture that the fun aspect to presenting the news resonates more with the audience, for example The Daily Show or The Colbert Report.
