Exactly 30 years ago, Miami New Times was born in a tiny office on South Beach. One of the aims of its founders was to publish long-form, narrative stories that would make a difference and provide a voice for the community. Surprise! It worked. Writers of magazine-length stories trained at the paper. They developed a variety of writing styles that –taken together –comprised a South Beach-inspired narrative form that spread far and wide. Join Miami New Times editors Chuck Strouse y Tim Elfrink, rapper and columnist Luther Campbell, y New Times alumni Jim DeFede y Ben Greenman for a discussion of the reporting, prose style, and storytelling acumen that created the South Beach style of storytelling.
