Introduction
Newsrooms are in the midst of a massive transformation. The story is evolving. No longer is it confined to just one medium nor is it a linear narrative. But while the way we tell the story changes, the human thirst for a good story will never go away.
This workshop helps journalists explore the new dynamics of digital storytelling without losing sight of the central importance of storytelling. Participants will look beyond one-way, linear, mono-modal stories to create captivating content that exploits all the web has to offer. They will gain skills to push their newsroom to the forefront of the digital storytelling revolution.
