The Saudi Marathon Man | Narrative vs. News

Source: The New Yorker, by Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty.
Last week I mentioned this piece in class when Zac brought up the question of when to use narrative journalism. Re-reading the piece, I still believe this is a strong example of combining timely news writing with a narrative edge and tone.  Maybe it could work as a strong example for our third project. Either way it's a great read.
