Tangentially, journalists almost, as a rule, put a narrative on events, even those that really don't have a narrative (which is most things under Current Events) E.g, when a story focuses on someone's personal story through the time of events, that becomes the narrative lens. I'm not fond of this approach, because it sets up conflicts and limits the view of events to the specific, when really, as someone far away, the specific isn't useful in understanding how it is actually news.
