Distribution & Advocacy Targeted Platforms The fundamental principle of ethical storytelling, as articulated by organizations such as the Safe House Project, is that stories should be told with survivors, not about them. This means giving survivors control over how their stories are shaped, where they are shared, and whether they are shared at all. Ethical storytelling honors the humanity, agency, and insight of survivors, recognizing that each individual has the right to determine the terms of their own narrative. However, research has also revealed nuanced distinctions between different types of narrative outcomes. Studies comparing survivor narratives (in which characters live) with death narratives (in which characters die) suggest that death narratives may increase intentions to engage in preventive behaviors, such as sun-safe practices, by reducing counterarguing and increasing narrative transportation. This finding underscores the importance of tailoring storytelling approaches to specific campaign goals while remaining sensitive to the potential for triggering distress. |
