This project aims at examining a number of influences on the changes that have occurred across storytelling in journalism. Particularly, how and why the ways of telling stories in journalism have been transformed throughout time. Further, how the incorporation of digital storytelling tools into the construction of non-fiction narratives has altered and influenced the perception of journalists towards stories. Another objective is to understand how journalists work with narrative and design building so as to create pieces that involve, engage and retain the audience. Finally, as a result of these changes, predict where journalism may be headed as technology further develops and new media elements emerge. This study then presents the analysis of multimedia news projects from the Portuguese Público and Expresso as well as the American The New York Times. Professionals from these three media organizations were interviewed to examine how news topics are chosen, project planning is undertaken, and reports built. The methodological approach is based on the categorization of digital news packaging developed by Richard Koci Hernandez and Jeremy Rue.
