My Gettysburg ora­tion: A vision for jour­nal­ism that can long endure:

But let’s be hon­est: Most of the con­tent we pub­lish isn’t sto­ries. It’s news. It’s facts. It’s infor­ma­tion. Let’s respect the pure, tra­di­tional story – the nar­ra­tive string of para­graphs – by reserv­ing that form for real sto­ries that have story ele­ments such as plot, char­ac­ter, set­ting and theme.

This whole speech is phenomenal.
