The Nieman Program on Narrative Journalism

The Nieman Foundation for Journalism organized its Program on Narrative Journalism in the fall of 2001. At its center is the grand and growing — now open to 1,000 working journalists each year — Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism.

The program and its conference strive to help editors and writers understand and deploy the power of narrative for presenting the news engagingly, with depth and nuance.

After consulting with editors at the 2002 conference, we developed a second, more intimate and intensive project: a three-day Nieman Seminar for Narrative Editors for 50 to 60 top working narrative editors.

We also have two more projects:

* The Nieman Narrative Digest: An online resource with links to narrative pieces, essays about narrative and discussion of tips and techniques
* The Nieman Narrative Anthology: A how-to guide with transcripts of presentations from Nieman narrative conferences
