Fired from the top-down, inspired from the bottom-up.
Person One: I got fired, laid-off, made redundant. I make vlog detailing it. Simple and personal. Five views already! Empowerment!? Democracy!?

Person Two: I got fired, laid-off, made redundant. With the help of an expert, I made a "digital story" detailing it. Simple and personal. Five views already! Empowerment!? Democracy!?

Person Three: What's the difference in substance...presentation...effect...authenticity? Isolation...disarticulation? Who is watching and why not create some cohesion?

A Thought

Person One: Its difficult for me that some academic named Nick Couldry suggested that digital stories might be "an isolated phenomenon, cut off from the wider distribution of social and cultural authority and respect". Its the respect part that really hits me, I just made a story about losing my job and I feel that respect is the very thing I need.
