Storytelling and Social Media
Journalists have long viewed Facebook and Twitter as tools for reporting and promoting their work. Recently though, photographers and writers have been embracing the photo sharing network Instagram as a platform for narrative storytelling. Documentary photographer Anastasia Taylor-Lind first shared behind-the-lens moments from her work in Ukraine, then used physical postcards to engage a community of users around the country’s long-running conflict. Even a longform writer like National Geographic contributor Neil Shea has found a niche, creating short narratives that bring scenes from his reporting to smartphones around the world.
