What is the difference between story and narrative?
Story: Us and them, narrative is typically “We”
Story: Beginning, middle, and end- Narrative is in process.
So we, together, fulfill the narrative.
So audiences become communities working together toward a common
goal.
That’s how story fits into a larger campaign to build a movement.
