The Art of the Story




Sydney Writers' Festival show

Summary: In the digital era where "snackable" content reigns supreme, some stories still require time and space. As part of the Stories Worth Telling series, join long-time contributor to The New Yorker and The Atlantic George Packer and award-winning author Don Watson for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of long-form journalism. Covering everything from the history of the art form to its role in contemporary journalism, two of the form’s leading exponents discuss the power and the possibilities of deeply reported journalism. Stories Worth Telling is a series created by the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas and Sydney Writers’ Festival.
