The Impact of Storytelling on the Subjects of Stories

We have a real interest in continuing to further understand how the stories we produce impact and support the work being done in communities. We have developed and continue to evolve a survey tool that is shared with interviewees in an effort to better understand how our coverage impacts their work. Additionally, we partnered with Michigan Health Endowment Fund and Public Sector consultants to bring an outside perspective to capture impact from subjects of the 124 stories featured in our State of Health series. We find the results compelling: 85% of survey respondents suggest a positive impact, 30%  strengthened relationships with funders, and 16% engaged in new collaborations.
