‘Storytelling’ worth the name

Weekend supplements, which previously showcased impressive storytelling, are now gradually disappearing.

Not infrequently these days, audiences burst out on social media. They get irritated by the types of news contents shoveled out on them.

Others find it off-putting to read puff pieces on celebrities (foreign and, occasionally, local) or partisan rants masquerading as long-form reportage.
