This article explores actuality storytelling’s development through the vehicle of immersive, participatory, user-driven, multi-platform interactive documentary. What emerges is an evolving mediated literacy in response to emerging storytelling technologies and the rise of ‘convergence culture’ that is remaking how we experience stories. The result is a reclaiming of storytelling from the Culture Industry and the rise of a new ecology of narrativity for compelling, interactive stories. Furthermore, the participatory nature of this evolving narratology assigns different roles to ‘author,’ ‘subject,’ and ‘audience/user’—each of whom are immersed in the narrative discourse and actively engaged in co-constructing the actuality (i.e., ‘truth’) through the act of storytelling itself.
