MOVE is a digital publication that aims to educate readers on the social, political, and cultural impacts of global migration. All stories were created at the 2016 Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change by students and faculty from around the world. #WhatMoveWillYouMake
Note from the editor
Despite today’s advances in multi-platform storytelling tools, media and news organizations are struggling to tell deep stories of migration that meaningfully elaborate on how both home and away communities are impacted. Not all the news stories of migration are narratives that address key concerns of inclusion and diversity — or that call readers, listeners and viewers to critical reflection. Too often coverage trafficks in generalizations and faceless data, emphasizes stereotypes, and perpetuates the notion of migrants and refugees as being “different” from — and threatening to — those in the media’s audience. This Salzburg Academy project is a call to students who are media, news and digitally literate to consider how inadequate narratives about migration can be reconsidered. From these explorations we published multimedia essays that articulate how we believe our personal stories and human connections to those around us can enable us and others to be more inclusive, responsive, and understanding of migrants and the socio-political-cultural impacts of migration. — Paul Mihailidis, Director of the Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change, part of the Salzburg Global Seminar

Justice is the foundation to any society. All who are able should stand up in front of injustice. Inaction in the face of evil is worse than evil itself.
