I'd argue that entertainment is much more likely to leave a lasting impression on people. Storytelling is far more effective at making people remember something than a well written article. If you were to quiz people about the life of Alexander Hamilton I suspect most people would give answers congruent to the musical and not what actually happened in the history books.
