The article is a guide on how to use narratives to make a real positive impact in the world. It emphasises the importance of ethical storytelling in a world where fake news is spread and misinformation remains rife. Stories have power, and they can give a voice to the voiceless. With this power comes the need for accurate portrayal; thus, stereotypes, harmful tropes, and sensationalism must be avoided. As part of ethical storytelling, it is imperative to consider the consequences of our stories. Stories can cause harm. Ultimately, it is about telling the whole truth in a fair, accurate, and responsible manner. This, as the article points out, is how narratives that drive positive change are created.
