Summary

Can we build a voice that tells the stories with greater cognitive prerogatives than those dictated by orthodoxy in journalistic nonfiction? Here it is postulated that yes, it is possible. By narrativizing the discourse of a source, the narrator can account for states of consciousness – feelings, thoughts, perceptions – as occurs in novels that present a narrative situation commonly called omniscient. Although it has not been studied in detail, this procedure is common in successful nonfiction texts.
