Storytelling is an often underestimated tool that shapes our understanding of reality – be it news media, movies or sports. Here we explore how narratives are constructed and their effects on society.
Stories can be conveyed using written, oral and visual narrative formats. Their duration ranges from short narratives to longer pieces of art.
