The democratization of storytelling. That is what I seek. For it is in the story that the future lies. -- James Whittaker, Microsoft
The world needs better storytellers but the very idea that the media will suddenly shift its vast storytelling resources from reality TV shows to stories about science, women, minorities, the environment and education is laughable. There is only one solution. We must learn to tell our own stories. We cannot allow this skill to atrophy. Itâs time we reclaim our stories. Itâs time to remember how to tell them. Itâs time to deliver them with such power that, perhaps, as a whole, we drown out the loud and well-funded media. -- James Whittaker, Microsoft
