\n For the better part of the last decade, the\u00a0Nieman Foundation for Journalism<\/a>\u00a0ran the most popular narrative journalism conference in the country. For three days each spring, hundreds of journalists gathered in Cambridge or Boston to hear notable storytellers talk craft. The first speaker at the first of eight conferences was\u00a0Nora Ephron<\/strong><\/a>, joined by fellow inaugurators\u00a0Jill Lepore<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Isabel Wilkerson<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Gay Talese<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Rick Bragg<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Jon Franklin<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Adam Hochschild<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Ira Glass<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jacqui Banaszynski<\/strong><\/a>. The following conferences featured notables such as\u00a0David Halberstam<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Seymour Hersh<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Norman Mailer<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Adrian Nicole LeBlanc<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Ted Conover<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Anne Fadiman<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Melissa Fay Greene<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Ken Burns<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Samantha Power<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Tom Wolfe<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Katherine Boo<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Joe Sacco<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jamaica Kincaid<\/strong><\/a>. Thanks to\u00a0Mark Kramer<\/strong><\/a>, who brought the conference across the river, from Boston University, the Nieman Foundation attracted an enthusiastic, loyal audience of storytellers.

From 2007 to 2009, journalist and editor\u00a0Constance Hale<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0ran the Nieman narrative program, and she oversaw the final conference. (The Nieman Foundation ended the conference as a cost-cutting measure, but the public part of our narrative initiative remained online, as the\u00a0Narrative Digest, the precursor to Nieman Storyboard.) Since 2009, Hale has been writing\u00a0language books<\/a>\u00a0and running journalism conferences on the West Coast. On Nov. 8 she’ll\u00a0relaunch a national narrative conference<\/a>\u00a0at her alma mater, the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. \u201cThe Latest in Longform\u201d will be a \u201cdaylong exploration of nonfiction storytelling,\u201d with an attendance limited to 75. We chatted.

Storyboard: Why a new longform conference at Berkeley?<\/b>

\"Screen-Shot-2014-06-05-at-9.31.21-PM\"<\/a>Hale:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s actually not new, in that the Graduate School of Journalism at Berkeley has hosted a number of professional development conferences for the past 15 years, with many of them about longform, even if we didn\u2019t use that retronym. Midcareer journalists deserve the chance to come back to a top-tier J-school for an intellectual booster shot \u2014 we don\u2019t always get on-the-job encouragement to aim high, or to experiment with the form, or to think about the most meaningful way to approach a story. Fortunately, the new administration at the J-school, led by Dean\u00a0Ed Wasserman<\/strong><\/a>, sees the conference as a way to invite a national audience to partake of the incredible riches of this particular school and this particular part of the country.

How will the Berkeley program differ from the conferences such as the ones at Boston University and the\u00a0Mayborn School of Journalism<\/a>\u00a0in Texas?<\/b>

Those are first-rate events, but there are differences. First come the obvious ones: BU\u2019s conference is on the East Coast, in the cold of a Boston spring, and Mayborn is in the South, in the heat of a Texas summer. This will be on the West Coast, in the fall. Berkeley is beautiful in early November. Then, more importantly, the J-school is exclusively a\u00a0graduate school<\/i>, and has long focused on deep investigative reporting, magazine writing, digital storytelling, full-length radio reporting, and documentary film and video, so it\u2019s natural that the school would want to foster an exploration of edgy genres and innovative ways of telling important stories. Finally, Silicon Valley is just a tad south. Our location makes us immersed in the tech world and naturally engaged in refining ways to join the traditional universe of narrative fluency to the dazzling expressive tricks of multiplatform journalism. It\u2019s no coincidence that magazines like\u00a0Wired<\/i>\u00a0and happenings like\u00a0Pop-Up Magazine<\/i><\/a>\u00a0and new ventures like\u00a0Byliner<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Matter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Medium<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Shebooks<\/a>\u00a0were all hatched in the Bay Area. The\u00a0Knight Digital Media Center<\/a>\u00a0is even housed at the J-school.

You spent several years running the Nieman narrative program, and you edited the online aspect of our program when it was the Narrative Digest. What did you learn from that experience and how will it affect the conference?<\/b>

At Nieman, I learned that a tremendous amount\u00a0can be taught<\/i>\u00a0about narrative journalism, and that it sinks in better when the \u201cstudents\u201d are accomplished reporters, skilled at organizing a lot of material into longer pieces, and already having developed their own narrative voices. Veteran journalists are ready and eager to take their writing to the highest level. So a conference like this is key for the evolution of the craft. And a little inspiration is such a gift; it\u2019s easy to get beaten down by the exigencies of jobs in journalism. My hats go off to Mark Kramer and others in Northampton, Massachusetts, who had the original vision for such a gathering. And to those who have worked at various iterations of the\u00a0Narrative Digest\u00a0and\u00a0Nieman Storyboard<\/a>. They have spotlighted wonderful work being done, sometimes against considerable odds.

When I arrived at Nieman I felt that the term \u201cnarrative journalism\u201d was a creature of the newspaper world. (At\u00a0Wired<\/i>\u00a0we just called it The Feature Well.) And the Nieman narrative program was too centered on \u2014 and dependent on \u2014 the newspaper world. I tried to expand the concept, including more digital media and magazines and books. Nevertheless, when newspapers collapsed, the conference collapsed. Papers stopped sending staff. As if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, the conference had become this behemoth at a downtown hotel with big ballrooms and ridiculously expensive food. Newspapers collapsed, the financial world collapsed, the Harvard endowment collapsed \u2014 the whole thing became unsustainable.

So at Berkeley we are stripping things down to what really matters. Journalists don\u2019t need a fancy hotel, or $40 box lunches. They just need each other.

Who\u2019s on the first lineup and what are they going to talk about?<\/b>

Narrative conference stalwarts like Jacqui Banazynski and Adam Hochschild will be there. But so will some new faces. We won\u2019t be announcing the lineup until July, but a peek at last year\u2019s\u00a0program<\/a>\u00a0will give a good idea of the high-concept, high-octane level of discussion.

Why limit the attendance to 75?<\/b>

Like you, I taught narrative journalism to fellows, and I loved the teaching. My conferences tend to be a little less about panels and (albeit inspiring or interesting) war stories and more about\u00a0pedagogy<\/i>. I want conference speakers who are not just marquee names, but generous souls and great teachers.\u00a0 I prefer ample small group sessions and master classes and lots of networking. In fact, my favorite Nieman event was the Seminar for Narrative Editors, which brought about 60 editors to Lippmann House for one weekend. I loved the intimacy. Happily, it turns out that 75 people is the perfect number for a conference at North Gate Hall, home of Berkeley\u2019s Graduate School of Journalism. We all fit in the library, where we have our plenary sessions. We can have breakout sessions of 12 or 15 people \u2014 like real seminars. We can get to know each other over the course of the day. We can insist that all attendees are experienced journalists \u2014 catnip for the editors we fly in from the East Coast. And we can build a speaker\/attendee ratio that allows the possibility of meaningful conversations between them, not just lecturers and listeners.

How much does it cost and where will it happen and will there be a view?<\/b>

The conference is held in the beautiful, rustic, unfancy\u00a0North Gate Hall<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 it\u2019s a classic example of California architecture, and started life nearly a century ago as the home of the School of Architecture. All the rooms are arranged around a lovely courtyard that is graced with wisteria and camellias. That counts as a view, right? We sought a price point freelancers could afford: $275 to the general public, plus $50 for extra master classes on Sunday, for those who want it. There will be a simple but delicious lunch and a California reception (i.e., wine and cheese) at the end of the day.

Narrative conferences have become a thing. Why?\u00a0<\/b>
