Content: They may be constructed to have an arc, as is the case with creative non-fiction, which employs literary techniques in the relation of true stories. Non-fiction narratives are transmitted using the same media as fictional narratives: film, television, books, verbally or in pictures. Think, for example, of the narrative transmitted by paintings of Napoleonic war scenes. Non-Fiction Genres
Certain forms of non-fiction are not categorized as narrative. These include books, such as handbooks, guidebooks or scientific journals categorized in the non-fiction section of bookstores. On the other hand, true crime stories do qualify as narrative as does biography, autobiography, and works of creative non-fiction. Works of journalism may qualify, such as narrative journalism which employs fictional and literary techniques in the relation of single or serial news stories. Visual and Pictorial Narratives
If you wonder how a picture can relate a narrative, think of the old phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Photo journalism is an important aspect of any news report or feature article because of the narrative information transmitted by the images.
