In a world of memes, social media posts, and influencers, we’re not always getting the full story or the real story.
This is unfortunate, especially in an era when the truth is less available but should be our first demand. This talk highlights common issues with media information and emphasizes ways to demand more in-depth information and stories. It also offers tips and real case studies on how to create stories with depth, evolve them and present them - especially useful for those in creative fields.
