They also collected VISTA Leaders stories and included them in a video for further illustrating concepts around digital storytelling: http://www.youtube.com/ejquoteunquote#p/u

Third Coast Conference

Belinda Rawlins — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:41:08 +0000

Ready to spend two + days with hundreds of fellow producers, artists, students, and audio enthusiasts, talking shop about radio/audio storytelling on the airwaves and beyond? Ready to come together, listen to each other’s work, share ideas and expertise, and make priceless connections with future colleagues and new friends?

Thought so. This fall marks our tenth (!) anniversary, and we hope you’ll celebrate with us over the course of another radio-drenched weekend here in Chicago.
We’ve lined up some amazing presenters like…Scott Carrier (Independent), Berit Hedemann (Norway), Amy O’Leary (New York Times), Jamie Tarabay (NPR), and Steven Tilley (AUS). These and many other radio pros will be tackling a wide range of topics, like… sound design, voicing, pitching stories, audio slide shows, audio tours, capturing “the moment”, equipment and software recommendations, and reporting from unfamiliar places. And that’s just a taste.

Telling compelling stories with Data

Ben Sheldon — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:23:05 +0000

I am blown away by the data visualizations created by VISTA Billy Brown serving at the Community Center of St. Bernard. The image above is part of a data report that his supervisor found so compelling she took it to a funder.

As a grantwriter, I have to balance storytelling with data. Usually, this means mixing anecdotes with statistics: a quote here, a pie chart there. What comes out is compelling but disjointed.

By creating a beautiful, accessible, yet information rich series of charts and visuals, this graphic tells a powerful story with data.

A picture can tell a 1000 words; it can also tell a 1000 numbers…. and amazingly have them make sense.
