Narrative
July 16, 2008
Yesterday in my class, Adam Conner of Facebook came and spoke to us about the power of narrative. His early 2006 article concerning Hilary Clinton’s lack of narrative is very eye opening and as my professor, Scott Talan mentioned, possibly prophetic. This idea raises many interesting questions. Did Clinton shy away from developing a narrative because she felt her target audiences already knew her story? Or, did she want to focus strictly on policy issues and not herself? Either way, as Conner pointed out, her missing narrative may have been her campaign downfall.
