No matter what media you work in, no matter what genre, no matter whether your deadlines are short and solid or long and adjustable \u2014 it never feels like you have enough time to produce the best story.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>But consider&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/podcasts\/the-journal\">The Journal., a podcast<\/a>&nbsp;that tells \u201cthe most important stories, explained through the lens of business,\u201d by The Wall Street Journal in partnership with Spotify. The show has aired a narrative every weekday for five years. Even allowing for a bit of time off, that\u2019s roughly 250 stories delivered at a very fast clip. So it\u2019s hard imagine two people with more experience telling stories on a tight deadline than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/news\/author\/katherine-brewer\">Katherine Brewer, a senior editor at The Journal<\/a>&nbsp;podcast, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/news\/author\/sarah-platt\">Sarah Platt, the program\u2019s executive producer<\/a>. The two offered tips for fast-turn stories in a talk at the 2024 Boston University Power of Narrative conference.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>First, a caveat: The Journal. team includes several producers and works on multiple stories at a time. But they have created episodes in mere hours and rarely spend more than a few days on a single story from start to finish. The narratives are always built from a strong news hook and rooted in a keen knowledge of narrative structure. Here\u2019s the core process:<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-list mb-4 list max-w-screen-full mx-auto pl-5 \">\n            \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find a character.<\/strong>\u00a0In news-driven stories like the ones told on The Journal., you are really telling two stories, or two focused parts of the same story, Brewer said. The first is the traditional news story, such as echnical and business reasons that iPhones and Android phones are incompatible. The second is the story of your character. In one episode of The Journal., for example, the main character was a man couldn\u2019t join his in-laws\u2019 family group chats because he is an Android user and they use iPhones. In other shows, the character may be competing sides of a lawsuit, or a high-level company official or a well-known person in the business world, such as Elon Musk or Sam Altman.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a timeline.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cChronology is the fastest way to narrative,\u201d Brewer said. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to tell your story chronologically, but a timeline helps you determine where to start, and where find the beginning, middle and end of your story.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a three-act structure.<\/strong>\u00a0Act one is the set up. Act two is confrontation. Act three is the resolution. \u201cYou can scramble those,\u201d Brewer said, \u201cbut if you don\u2019t have those pieces somewhere, then you probably need to re-think your narrative.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know your driving question.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cReality TV is good at \u2018driving questions,\u2019\u201d Platt said. (Example: Who will be voted off the island tonight?) Platt played a clip from an episode of The Journal. featuring a woman whose car keeps getting stolen. The driving question of that story: Why are Kias and Hyundais being stolen in record numbers? \u201cIt sets up the stakes for the character, but also for the car companies,\u201d Platt said. While some journalists think of this as the thesis, The Journal. team likes to build stories around a strong, driving question, which then threads through the three-act structure. In the first act, a question is raised; in act two, the question is explored; and in act three, it is answered. Platt warns against building a story around a driving question that is not answerable: \u201cThat is almost always a mistake.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It has to\u00a0<em>mean<\/em>\u00a0something.<\/strong>\u00a0While a news story can end with what\u2019s happening next, a good narrative needs to reveal something about the world, Platt said. The answer to your driving question is what provides that meaning. This can be difficult, but small moments can be profound. The pair used an example from a story about gambling addiction. When the main character walked into her first Gamblers Anonymous meeting, the room was full and she realized that what had happened to her could happen to anybody. That small moment contained a profound realization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay focused.<\/strong>\u00a0Keeping focused on the story in progress and the process of producing it helps The Journal team work efficiently. The editor and producers ask direct, specific questions of rpeorters and don\u2019t allow tangents. \u201cKnow your driving question, know what you want your timeline to be, and stay within the walls of that,\u201d Brewer said. That discipline of focus allowed The Journal. to post an episode on the day-long January 6, 2021, Capitol attack that same evening. It remains one of The Journal\u2019s most-downloaded episodes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>* * *<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p><em>Madeline Bodin is a freelance environmental and science journalist who is based in Vermont.<\/em><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How The Wall Street Journal has produced the daily narrative podcast &#8220;The Journal.&#8221;
