**digital storytelling: campaigning ** --Michelle , Mon, 07 Apr 2008 17:57:34 -0500 reply
With a wealth of online tools at a campaigner's fingertips, there is a danger that the medium overtakes the message. Nonprofits now have the tools and permission to engage and mobilise us now in ways they wouldn't have dared before. However, to create excitement and passion from people around a subject, storytelling is key. The knowledge of why and to what end you are campaigning ass well as a clear sense of who you are all meet in a good story. To this end, I propose a discussion on the importance of storytelling and a short presentation to demonstrate the creativity of those behind good campaigning and at the same time respect the audience enough to give them a little more. After all, in a very real sense, audiences are wired to respond to stories, relate to them, and to a great extent make them our own... so should it not stand to reason that stories are the prime concern of campaigners, attempting to convey a digital message.
