How to tell powerful narratives on Instagram

my notes ( ? )

the Instagram experience, with its constant flow of images and text boxes, presented an alternative story geometry that demanded from me new things. Shorter stories... a deeper consideration of photographs and the rich, nuanced ways that words and pictures work together. ... a powerful, unexpected, and mostly underutilized storytelling tool... more democratic than filter-heavy Facebook, less terse than Twitter, less ephemeral than Snapchat... many photojournalists demonstrated that there’s enormous opportunity to use Instagram to leverage good social documentary... Instagram is not a destination for news or heavy explanatory nonfiction...Writing for Instagram is different and should be approached with a distinct, possibly purer, purpose—the joy of finding and telling. Writers trained to observe and collect, test and analyze, have in this app a fresh opportunity for innovation, to see how those skills might be applied to mobile storytelling. - How to tell powerful narratives on Instagram » Nieman Journalism Lab
