The shape and delivery of stories has also shifted dramatically in the digital era. Long-form narrative and conventionalism journalism now share a stage with messages 140 characters or images that disappear in seconds after they are opened. There have never been more ways to reach audiences, but it's also never been more difficult to really reach them.
An overview of digital storytelling platforms highlights some of their strengths, weaknesses, and organizations using these tools effectively. This report is a primer for the Digital Storytelling project spearheaded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

104. What makes a story
an ethical story is
what makes it a
good story
105. Representation with dignity & respect
Not stereotypes
Not tokens
Not representatives of a whole community
They are individuals with their own names and unique stories
Ask yourself:
1. Have I shared a specific context (social and political) in which the story
is set?
2. If this is an image set outside of Canada, would we expect this type of image
in a Canadian context?
3. Are the individuals passive victims or active participants and shown in
their resilience?
106. (Informed) Consent is ongoing
[Written consent forms]
[Concealed identities]
[Translations]
Ask yourself:
1. Have I requested informed consent every time I have posted this story?
2. Have I explicitly and clearly shared expectations with the subject over how
the story will be told and retold?
3. Can the people whose story I share access the story and request changes?
4. How many stages has the story gone through until it reached my desktop?
107. Intention VS. Impact
{Objectification}
{Commodification}
{Remodification}
Ask yourself:
1. Might the individual feel an obligation to share a story in order to still
receive a service?
2. How many people are involved in the gathering, creation, and sharing
of this story?
3. Check yourself: What power are you using (specific words, content
mediums, and technology) to choose, create, and tell the story?
4. How would the individuals under their structures of power tell their own
story differently?
108. We hold the power in the
retelling

structures
We hold the power in building
these relationships
