Stories are the telling of lives, challenges, and untold experiences of people. They also reveal sides of other stories and help answer questions posed by readers.

The reason why we need stories is because they reveal things about the world around us, like with the photos by Lewis Hine during the industrial revolution. Stories can help drive us to find change with social wrongs of the world or help answer questions about the world. Stories help connect or be the in-between of the main coverage of news stories and connect people to each other.
