Interesting session today with @TWC_pod at #BUNarrative Conference 🌟 I love when practical advice for success is offered at these things #writingcommunity #alwayslearning #newchapters
Hearing @AngelJennings reflect on the need to mining your life experience to tell authentic stories about communities reminded me: It's crucial to embrace the experiences of narrative writers *who look like you* or have *life experiences like you*. #BUNarrative
One of the most powerful lines about narrative from @jelani9 today: "Narrative has the capacity to convey common values and thoughts, to instill wisdom, to listen to the life stories of our elders." #BUnarrative
Thank you for joining us for virtual #BUNarrative! We are deeply grateful to our speakers @JacquiB @ByFernandaS @Fahrenthold @jelani9 @DrIbram @RoyPeterClark @jenni_gritters @wudanyan @AngelJennings
Shout-out to @the_emancipator, @DrIbram's intriguing new journalism project to revive an abolitionist newspaper, at end of his #bunarrative talk with @jelani9. Collaboration with @GlobeOpinion & #BU's @AntiracismCtr
Thrilled to join with my colleagues @AntiracismCtr and the journalists @GlobeOpinion to resurrect this historic newspaper @the_emancipator. Thanks Vanessa for covering.

Congrats to all hands at the #BUnarrative conference. Another great version, despite the impediments of the pandemic. Looking forward to the next chapter in 2022.
To debunk misinformation without aiding it, @jelani9 recommends @jayrosen_nyu's "truth sandwich" approach. #bunarrative
Here's my thread about the "truth sandwich" method of reporting false or dubious claims with background, concept and four examples, all on one URL. https://t.co/LGP2uRqLQV
LISTEN, said, @jelani9, said @JacquiB this morning. It's the fundamental for any narrative nonfiction reporter. Not enough listening... #BUNarrative.
Advice for covering Black communities, from David Simon of The Wire (@AoDespair), speaking to @jelani9's students: "Listen. Give their words the authority you’d give people in some other part of town." #BUnarrative (3/3)
When white students ask @jelani if they should be covering stories about Black people, he responds: "We absolutely need you to cover stories that involve Black people." But they need to understand the differences in their vantage point, he says. #BUnarrative
.@jelani9 reminds us of the "truth sandwich" in reporting: start upfront with actual fact, then discuss divergence from that fact in the middle, then conclude with the fact so that the first & last things the listener sees or hears are the statements of fact. #BUNarrative
"We absolutely need you to cover" stories about Black people, @jelani9 tells nervous white journalism students.
"We need you to have a skill set to cover them in the most rigorous, competent way possible. Understand the differences in your vantage points." #BUnarrative (2/3)
White journalism students now ask @jelani9, "Should I be covering these stories about Black people?" (because of their different backgrounds).
"Absolutely," @jelani9 says. #bunarrative (1/3)
There’s a difference between using the first-person narrative and a selfie
/First-person points to a larger “we”, a selfie says “look at me! look at me”/
Use your story to talk about the larger universal truth. If it doesn’t do that, put it in your diary~@jelani9 #BUNarrative
.@jelani9 on writing a first-person narrative: "There is a difference between using the first person and taking a selfie." #BUnarrative
“Myth making before our eyes,” says @jelani9 of competing narratives describing #AtlantaMassacre #BUNarrative
"I tell my students, where is the consensus among people who understand this subject the best?" says @jelani9. (He teaches at @columbiajourn & used to teach history & Africana studies at @UConn.) #bunarrative
"If you’re talking about yourself you can only do it if it brings up a universal truth...there’s a difference between using the first person [as a means to get the reader to see themselves in your story] and taking a selfie." @jelani9 #BUNarrative
