About Nieman Storyboard

A project of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard, Nieman Storyboard looks at how storytelling works in every medium. In addition to highlighting outstanding print narratives, we seek to feature the best examples of visual, audio and multimedia narrative reporting. As a bonus, we’ll also give you occasional updates on conferences, awards, and other narrative news.

We hope to host a conversation on how storytelling and long-form narratives might evolve as more readers get their news online. Along with examining the work of those who have done great narratives in every medium so far (including things like graphic nonfiction treatments and interactive graphics), we want to report on future possibilities. Send us your ideas!

Fortunately, Nieman Storyboard is not in charge of figuring out which business model will save journalism. So for the most part, we’ll be leaving the money questions to the Nieman Journalism Lab, while we focus on how stories get told.

This is far too vast an undertaking for any group of contributors to manage alone. So we hope you’ll add your thoughts and expertise to the discussion. We are listening, and we encourage you to join in via comments or send your thoughts/links/stories to us directly at contact_us@niemanstoryboard.org.
