The layers of storytelling
Clayton Collins
Director of Editorial Innovation
For us here in Boston, it’s a story from a day-ahead time zone, and it’s one that won’t stand still. South Korea has merited a news brief in four of the past six days and in bunches before that. Inciting incident: the South Korean president’s flirtation with martial law.
Ann Scott Tyson is jumping in when deeper takes are needed: from Tokyo and Seoul on the regional stakes, and before that with a standback explainer, and then again from Seoul on the long arc of the political crisis.
Today, Ann reinterviews people she’d met on Seoul’s streets before. It’s a perspective on a societal shift, straight from the people living it.
