The number of sites that post graceful writing grows every day. You can’t go wrong at The New Yorker’s online incarnation, and many other magazines offer interesting experiments in new media. I’m on the lookout for beautifully written blogs, in which masterful writers explore the form and manage to do much more than whine, pine, and opine. More on that soon, I hope.
In the meantime, if you want to read great examples of narrative journalism, the Narrative Digest offers a new batch of stories, as well as commentary and various resources, every two weeks. The site is published by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.
The production of a group of ambitious and talented reporters in Florida, Gangrey has been called “a well-kept candy shop open to anyone who appreciates good writing.” It features mainly news stories from around the country, as well as spirited discussion of them, as well as of the changing platforms of journalism.
Speaking of changing platforms, make sure not to miss Interactive Narratives, produced by the Online News Association. The site’s tagline reads “the best in multimedia storytelling,” and the focus here is truly on the merging of text, audio, video, and graphics.
