Journalists use the word "story" for most of their articles, but Roy Peter Clark argues that many are just "reports." The difference? "A report hangs on a set of reliable questions that go back more than a century: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. A story converts these elements and sets them in motion, so that Who becomes Character, What becomes Scenic Action, Where becomes Setting, When become Chronology, Why becomes Motive, and How becomes How it happened."
