Digital Media: Streaming Stories beyond the Divide
Digital Storytelling Institute to present first annual Digi awards; explore content distribution
Two South Los Angeles kids wander into a community library. Nine-year old Darrell and his little sister Dominique return often, adopting the library as a second home. One day, in a fit of rage, Darrell breaks one of the library’s records and disappears…
This story could have ended here. But thanks to the Digital Storytelling Institute, the Southern California Library was able to capture this story on video and can now stream it to a wide audience; not only spotlighting the organization, but also creating an artistic expression of what a library can be to its community.
Through the Digital Storytelling Institute, ZeroDivide has teamed with the Bay Area Video Coalition to provide direct training, technical support, technology and media tools to community-based organizations and community technology centers. ZeroDivide helps amplify community voices through digital storytelling – addressing both the digital divide and the content divide that exists in underserved communities.
