Ways to tell stories

Lambert, Joe. (2014).

”Identity negotiation allows participants to explore ways in which they are tied to one another and a larger group, which furthers deliberation by giving participants a shared identification and sense of belonging to a community.

Even when participants are engaged in disagreement, the identity negotiation that they engage in during dialogue can help build their commitment to the public good by identifying the ways in which they are connected in addition to recognizing their identity differences.” (Black, 2008: 96)

”What difference can a voice make? Local action makes a difference only locally if it stays in the local context. The promise of digital media is, however, that it reaches beyond the local community to a world of potential listeners and viewers.” (Bratteteig, 2008).
