Don’t Let The Facts Stand In The Way of a Good Story: How Storytelling Has Become Journalism
September 23rd, 2010 · No Comments
The joke when I was in college was “don’t let the facts stand in the way of a good story.” Back then, the facts behind the far-fetched stories of late night were always stretched to sound better or more dramatic so that the story lived in infamy. Twenty five years later, my buddies and I [...]
