The Power of Narrative
We live in a world inundated with tweets, hot takes, and breaking news alerts that dominate our thoughts for a moment and our news cycles for a day or two. Such a scattershot media environment only increases the power of narrative. Narrative penetrates the heart of the subject and the hearts of the audience. Bits of news or information rarely change our perspective about the world or our place in it. Narrative nonfiction rarely fails to do so. Hosted by COM's Department of Journalism, this annual conference is for writers, editors, and lovers of narrative non-fiction. To register, view the schedule, and find out who the speakers are, https://bit.ly/PowerofNarrative_BU. FEES: $289 for general public $249 for BU alums $99 for non-BU students with an .edu address Free to BU students
