They find it extremely weird to have somebody kind of around them jotting notes in a notepad. So I always try to validate their feelings for how weird it might seem, but to also remind them, that at the end of this, there&#8217;s going to be a story, [and] people will be able to understand your life in a new way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\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>I walked her through this whole conversation, and it was funny because she was completely normal with it in a way that no other source has really been, because she has been watched for three years.

I think some of that is a function of bad things that have happened from journalists over the years. We are not perfect. But also, we as an institution have been attacked and criticized from a partisan perspective for many years, right? We&#8217;ve had this persona placed onto us, and we haven&#8217;t really done a good job of necessarily just saying that we&#8217;re all just a bunch of random normies basically.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\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>We have notepads. We go out and ask people questions. We are trying to be a reflection of what we see. We&#8217;re just people like you. We&#8217;re just observers. I think it is generational, but also there are some throughlines in terms of when people think of the legacy media, the mainstream media, they may think of a bunch of elite Ivy-trained people who never leave their bubble and may parachute in and give this story that is wrapped up in their own biases. And there&#8217;s certainly that in journalism. But there are also a lot of people who are just curious and just want to tell good stories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\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-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On narrative and story length:<\/h2>\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-quote mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">    \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>\u200aMost of my stories are not 100 inches [around 4,000 words]. Most of them are a quarter of that. And I think you can still do great narrative in there. Narrative is not an inch count. It&#8217;s not a \u201cdisappear for six months\u201d thing. It&#8217;s a thing you can apply in every story. It&#8217;s the way you ask questions, it&#8217;s the way you write things, it\u2019s the value you place on real-world stuff: going to the place, learning the details, seeing everything, asking the name of the dog, getting the color of the car, really caring about those details. You should apply those in the ways that they work as much as you can, because that&#8217;s what makes storytelling fun. That color and nuance, you can&#8217;t replace that.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\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-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the value of compelling storytelling:<\/h2>\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-quote mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">    \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>\u200aBeing at a writer&#8217;s paper like [the Tampa Bay Times], it could start to feel like,<em> <\/em>Oh, are we all just navel-gazing?<em> <\/em>But people really love those stories.
