Dalle video-novel di Youtube alle Instagram Stories. Dalle narrazioni di marca al brand journalism. Dagli spazi urbani alle piattaforme espanse. Viviamo in un flusso incessante di contenuti e informazioni. L'universo di conoscenze che abbiamo costruito - e che ci portiamo in tasca - passa sempre di più attraverso format e media narrativi.
