What is a story? Why do we need them?

A story is our way of telling people about what is happening in the world. They are important because they are how we stay connected as a society. Whether they are fictional or non-fiction they bring groups of people together to learn about a topic, be entertained by a whimsical tale, or debate over a tough topic put forth by the writer. Without stories there would be no other forms of media because everything starts with a story.

    “Everything starts with a story.” I like that. Can I steal it?

    Year’s ago Rolling Stone did a piece called “The New News.” It was mostly about how rappers and rap music were better at providing useful “news” than the real news media.
