In the midst of reformatting its print edition, The Wall Street Journal is launching a virtual reality application in hopes that consumers looking for an alternative to cable news will gravitate
towards immersive business and financial reportage. The app is called WSJ VR and is viewable through Google Daydream in conjunction with select Daydream-ready phones, including models from LG, Samsung
and of course, the recently announced Google Pixel and Pixel XL. WSJ’s newest offering comes at a time when a number of publications within the stratum of high news journalism are rolling out
dedicated VR components of their newsrooms.
