“Narrative Theory in Journalistic Practice, edited by Yngve Benestad Hågvar, Harald Hornmoen, and Jørgen Alnæs of Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet), provides clear and practical theoretical concepts and methodological approaches to make sense of journalistic storytelling and narratives in the ever-changing media landscape.”
-- Jessy De Cooker, Lecturer and PhD candidate, Journalism Faculty, Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands
“I recommend Hågvar, Hornmoen, and Alnæs’s book because it situates narrative journalism within the TikTok age and provides everyday examples that make concepts easier to understand. The book does an exceptional job of explaining concepts and can serve as a valuable read for students and scholars of journalism who wish to expand their knowledge of narrative journalism.”
