see my big three takeaways from the how we frame it<\/em> segment below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n sustainable storytelling is dependent on defining a character. one key piece of advice from panelist jessica stahl, editor for creative storytelling at grist, was to include \u2018frontline communities\u2019 that your story describes in the crafting of the story itself. coming from a background of focused, decisive reporting, stahl encouraged us all to bring our characters into the storytelling process. her journalistic niche is ensuring those most impacted by climate change are receiving the media attention they deserve. in this way, stahl urges us to give platform to the characters of our stories (given they are tangible individuals) in a way that directly supports their needs. when participatory, your story\u2019s frame will undoubtedly make an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n while you may believe that you know how to tell a story best, consider the opinions and input of others. that\u2019s what rachel frazin, energy and environment reporter for the hill, suggested to an eager and receptive audience. frazin works for a publication that caters to a wide range of media consumers, often necessitating strict editing, fact-checking, and revision processes. as an energy and environment reporter, she understands the weight her journalism carries, especially for an audience that may not be expecting climate news. frazin\u2019s strategy is to utilize the input and skills of those around her to synthesize a better end product. the climate crisis requires meticulous and intentional storytelling, and frazin urged us not to shy away from our coworkers, colleagues, and peers in times of need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n for jesse j. holland, journalism is an act of adaptability. the associate director and associate professor of the school of media and public affairs at george washington university regaled the planet forward audience with his perseverance. declaring himself a \u201cwordsmith\u201d by trade, holland reminded us that journalism is always changing, evolving, and reinventing itself. further, he emphasized the importance of flexible framing and ensuring the integrity of your story within that flexibility. just as you match a particularly sized photo to a frame, sustainable storytelling must do the same. holland reminded us that journalistic quality is only determined by the storyteller\u2019s ability to adapt and grow alongside their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n carson davis is an academic assistant for the gw alliance for a sustainable future and is a dual-degree ba\/mph student in the milken institute school of public health.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" george washington university student carson davis reflects on key takeaways from the how we frame it panel at the 2024 planet forward summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23268,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4902,4930,4914],"tags":[],"storyfest_categories":[],"class_list":["post-39173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colleges-education","category-science-communication","category-sustainability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n1.) framing should be participatory<\/h2>\n\n\n
