Digital narratives as inspiration for multi-perspective journalism

With Laurien Michiels, Jimena Aguilar and Daniel Bangura

In this panel, three digital storytellers pull the audience into their respective creative stories: an augmented reality book on the topic of echo chambers, an audio walk collective memory project and an interactive web documentary about urban space. What unites them all: their social relevance, narrative strength and multi perspective character that seek to create dialogues with their audiences. Are digital narratives particularly apt at stifling polarization and unleashing innovation?
