Park, Jungsik. “Narrative Journalism and Its Current Trends with Perspective.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 36.3(2010): 35-47. Although story-telling and fact-reporting have long been felt to be contradictory in news-writing, contemporary newspapers start to renovate their news-reporting practice, search for alternative ways to represent a social event, and now experiment with novelistic techniques. While still bound by the codes of reportage such as an obligation to referential accuracy, foundation of verifiable data, and constraints of time limit, major newspapers nevertheless push the creative and writerly flair of storytelling to the limit, almost nearing the boundary to fiction-writing. One particularly noticeable recent reporting practice is the use of the overt perspective (that is, reporting from a particular point of view). Excerpted from such major newspapers as the New York Times, Detroit News, Los Angeles Times, Metro Times and Washington Post, the narrative news articles clearly showcase the recent fact-delivering practice, as opposed to straight news articles.
