STORY CIRCLE
“Where once cultures valued storytellers for lauding, lamenting, and laughing at those in power, this thoughtful book illuminates the hopes, practices and achievements of the myriad amateur storytellers who populate today’s globalized and digitalized cultures.” Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics and Political Science
“I warmly welcome the publication of Story Circle. It provides a fascinating account of what’s happened in digital storytelling so far and will be a crucial reference point for digital storytelling in the future.” Menna Richards, Controller, BBC Wales
