Bryan Alexander's Blog: The New Digital Storytelling - Posts Tagged "archive"

Can we tell stories with Facebook? One example answers in the affirmative. A Polish historical archive created a Facebook page for one Jewish boy who was born in Lublin, then killed in the Holocaust.

It's using social media to portray a character in time, akin to storytelling through diaries.  Henio Zytomirski's short life appears through historical photos, real and imagined voice, about page and status updates.

There are other examples of Facebook stories, but let's not discuss them in this post.  Let the Brama Grodzka Cultural Center's historical, personal work reverberate for now in your mind.

Small Town Noir is a fine example of storytelling by blog, plus storytelling through remix.

Remix: Small Town Noir's contents are news accounts of crime in New Castle, a western Pennsylvanian burg.  They are supplemented by by Diarmid Mogg's observations.



Blog: STN publishes bits of this archive through a blog platform.  You can read through, or wait for new items to appear serially through syndication.
