Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Also, the culture of journalism, from reporting to news organizations, seems to be become resistant to new-media, games and playful environments, which leads to the isolation of playful designers and developers in newsrooms.
Furthermore, the use of games and play appears to have both negative and positive effects on the perceived brand of a news organization. Also, are these games didactic or playful?
