Inside a serial narrative: A story is ‘a promise that the end is worth waiting for’ | Poynter

Benham and her husband, journalist Tom French, were faced with a pivotal question: Fight for their daughter’s life or let her go? In a recent three-part series in Poynter’s Tampa Bay Times, Benham wrote about how she and French confronted this question and how the answer they sought has changed their lives.

 

“A story is a promise,” French said to her as they read to Juniper. “It’s a promise that the end is worth waiting for.”

This was powerful, personal storytelling which I guess are the other components of great stories.
