WBUR is proud to be a media partner of The Power of Narrative Conference for writers, editors and lovers of narrative non-fiction hosted by Boston University College of Communication's department of journalism.
The theme of this year's conference is "Repairing… Restoring… Reconnecting… Through True Storytelling." We live in a world inundated with tweets, hot takes and breaking news alerts that dominate our thoughts for a moment and our news cycles for a day or two. Such a scattershot media environment only increases the power of narrative. Narrative penetrates the heart of the subject and the hearts of te audience. Bits of news or information rarely change our perspective about the world or our place in it. Narrative nonfiction rarely fails to do so.
See the lineup which includes a keynote screening of the documentary "Flashpoint" at CitySpace and a session with Amory Siverston, host of WBUR's Beyond All Repair podcast, here.
This event is hosted by the Boston University College of Communication's department of journalism. Only the evening keynote on March 28 is located at CitySpace.
