The Narrative Journal

About

Welcome to coverage of the 2003 Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism, set up by the Poynter Institute. You can use this blog to read news and share ideas about the conference with both attendees and non-attendees.

Next year, the Nieman Program on Narrative Journalism will be launching the Nieman Narrative Digest, a more comprehensive resource on narrative nonfiction. Please help us make it useful: send us links to noteworthy narrative pieces, and questions you'd like to pose to leading practitioners of the craft. We welcome your thoughts!
