Narrative Journalism Part One

Life happens and humans make sories out of it. Stories to make sense of events and relationships. Stories to capture and preserve a moment. Stories to persuade. Stories to convey the news. Journalists take a special interest in stories, in narrative as a means of conveying what they've seen and experienced.
