Storytelling remains important in journalism . . . here's just one example courtesy of Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard!

Ken Armstrong has reported, written, or edited award-winning stories across traditional longform writing, podcasts, television, and, most recently, web comics.

On this week’s Nieman Storyboard podcast, Armstrong talks about the importance of storytelling in investigative journalism and the role narrative has played throughout his career, from The Seattle Times and The Marshall Project to ProPublica and Bloomberg News.

The conversation also looks at “TrAPPed,” Bloomberg’s Pulitzer-winning illustrated story about a neurologist in India who was held captive under “digital arrest” as part of an elaborate scam.

🎧 Listen to the full conversation with Armstrong on Nieman Storyboard or on your preferred podcast platform.
