Narrative driven news was the @nytimes special brand. On the one hand it *was* written with lively prose. On the other hand, I hated the idea that the narrative arc was constructed to fit facts that sometimes hadn’t even happened yet. This idea of narrative beyond spin took off. — PolitiTweet.org

I used to talk to folks at @cnn, @npr, @washingtonpost etc all the time on inflation, physics, immigration, science policy, etc. Then, mysteriously reporters slowly started complaining about the situation at work much more. It seemed like we went from news with spin to narrative. — PolitiTweet.org

Reporters started warning me: “We’re hiring kids who don’t believe in objective factual reporting.” “We’re being pushed to be on Twitter.” “Editors aren’t letting our best stories through as much.” “I can’t use you any more if you aren’t going to play ball. It sucks. Sorry.” — PolitiTweet.org
