Narrative news pieces tell stories about real events using characters, scenes, and actions to engage the reader. They unfold the story naturally without summarizing, and keep the reader wondering what will happen next. News, on the other hand, aims to quickly and directly convey factual information about recently occurred events from different perspectives to inform readers. While news prioritizes facts, narratives combine facts with fictional elements for entertainment through compelling stories.
