Special Series: New Storytelling

The digital revolution has changed how we see our world and thus, it’s also changed how we tell the stories of our world.

Over the course of the next week, MediaShift is looking at new forms of storytelling and how digital tools bolster that storytelling. We’re exploring at all kinds too, from film, to online, to public media; from a digital storytelling course in a Kentucky high school to a new kind of college journalism course that teaches new forms of storytelling.
