“And so with a writer’s career–a person tries to figure out when to write what for which publication, and how to do so, meaning with one kind of language or with quite another kind.”
Coles, p. 31
This quote is super important to our study of documentaries because the context of a documentary influences its method of portraying information and the success it acquires. Another example that could relate to this is how people interact with each other. For instance, I may act differently with my family than with one of my friends. In the Coles article, the platform that the documentary work is displayed on may change the method of portraying the work.
