If you watch the news long enough, you’ll see that the old adage rings true: The truth is stranger than fiction. Sometimes, though, it takes a bit of creativity to bring the facts to life.
Here in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication — which sits at the intersection of University Avenue and Park Street in the heart of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus — we explored the art of creative nonfiction this spring. From the waggle dance of the honeybee to the fight to save one of Oconomowoc’s oldest homes, check out our efforts blending elements of fiction to tell real stories from our community.
In the Crosswalk, you’ll read stories of people. Turn Lane explores stories of change. And with Green Light, you’ll find stories in motion.
