- Title
Imepilt's Newsgames as an Art Practice and Novel Form of Journalism.

- Abstract
The article studies the Estonian cross-media company Imepilt and its newsgames in both the Estonian and global contexts, and uses Imepilt's games as a starting point for discussing the present state of newsgames: their strengths and weaknesses, potentials and pitfalls. The case study compares the designers' experience in designing newsgames with some of the rhetoric that was used in discussing newsgames in earlier theoretical texts, and points out some inconsistencies and differences in newsgames' theory and practice. The genre of newsgames is also placed in a historical context and compared with earlier media, such as editorial cartoons.
