What is Narrative Journalism?

Answer 1

You can figure this out. A narrative is a story -- narrative journalism is journalism which tell a story, as opposed to journalism which reports a variety of facts, statistics, reactions from sources, public statements, etc. All of those can be used in narrative journalism, but they have to be put in service of the story being told.

Narrative journalism focuses on characters, often just one person, and sometimes it is the author him or herself. The story of a woman's struggle to cross the US - Mexico border safely and make a life might be an example of approaching the immigration issue in narrative journalistic style, as opposed to a story citing numbers who cross, economic statistics on the effect on the economy, and quotaitions from people on both sides.

Much of what was called "New Journalism" is narrative journalism: such as, "In Cold Blood."
