DESCRIPTION:G. Wayne Miller will speak on &ldquo\;Where Stories Take Us\,
 &rdquo\; about some of the major pieces published in print and online du
 ring the last three decades in The Providence Journal\, the region&rsquo
 \;s leading media outlet &ndash\;&ndash\; and how they have helped shape
  the civic discourse\, influence public policy\, and further understandi
 ngs of ourselves as individuals and collective members of society.\n&ldq
 uo\;Whether in print\, online or on TV\, we are bombarded with facts on 
 a daily basis\,&rdquo\; Miller said\, &ldquo\;and many of those facts ar
 e important to know. But what really stays with us -- what can move us a
 nd motivate us to change -- is often not the raw data about poverty but 
 the well-told story of a struggling single-parent family with its rich e
 motion\, dialogue and detail. It's the personal struggle of the veteran 
 with PTSD told intimately\, against the backdrop of the numbers.&rdquo\;
 \nAn author\, filmmaker and staff writer at The Providence Journal\, Mil
 ler himself has told many such stories. A Visiting Fellow at the Pell Ce
 nter\, he is a member of The Journal&rsquo\;s Reinvent Rhode Island team
 \, which all year has been publishing articles and videos about the Ocea
 n State&rsquo\;s anemic economy. His eight-part 2011 Journal series &ldq
 uo\;Coming Home: The War on Terror&rdquo\; told the personal stories of 
 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and led to the Journal&rsqu
 o\;s award-winning documentary movie\, Coming Home\, which he wrote and 
 co-produced.\n&nbsp\;
