Abstract

The paper delves into the evolving landscape of digital storytelling, exploring the latest innovations and their profound impact on various domains. With the advent of new technologies, digital storytelling has transcended traditional formats to encompass interactive narratives, virtual reality experiences, and social media-driven content. This study examines the integration of multimedia elements, such as augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI), which have revolutionized the way stories are told and consumed. Furthermore, it investigates the implications of these advancements on audience engagement, cultural representation, and the media industry at large. The analysis highlights the challenges faced by creators and the opportunities for democratizing storytelling, ultimately suggesting that digital storytelling is not only a reflection of our current technological capabilities but also a predictor of future narratives.
