Oh, man. Chris Goffard just got a standing ovation from the #MaybornLitCon18 audience. Wise tips about podcasting, yes, but also powerful insight about the role of storytelling in the media ecosystem. pic.twitter.com/9snHzywn63

You might email a colleague later to see if he had a recorder running.

It's all about the story, now and always.
Please note that I did not say this was all about the "content."

"Dirty John" was @LATChrisGoffard's first podcast. He says, I jumped into it with a combination of hubris and cluelessness. Which is really my only superpower. #MaybornLitCon18

In deciding approach to take, @aviselk asks himself: "Why would anybody want to read this?"
Huge news story -- "Los Angeles just fell into the sea" -- is obvious.
Something less urgent? It can wait long enough for a writer to find best way to tell it.

.@mannyNYT says that even on deadline, he's trying to write "a pure human tale" that people will want to read 20 years from now. He knows they won't. But that's the goal. #maybornlitcon18

It's possible to write narrative-style stories on very, very short deadlines, says @aviselk. He points to this @washingtonpost story he wrote in June. #maybornlitcon18 @MaybornUNT wapo.st/2lsMCFR?tid=ss…

We're now talking about writing stories in a hurry. My former colleague @aviselk, whose job is to write a couple of stories a day that chase audiences, says his most successful stories have been ones that are told narrative-style. #MaybornLitCon18
