The planet’s stories are taking new shapes and reaching new audiences to reflect a new age.
At this year’s Summit, the most compelling student storytellers will take the mic and the stage, sharing the space with accomplished media leaders who are changing the way we share stories to inform the public and build credibility in the age of algorithms.
Through conversations, questions, and live feedback sessions, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise of disinformation and polarization to tell stories that inform, engage, and drive innovation.
