This study measures the discursive factors of current narrative journalism through analyzing a corpus of sample narrative news and describes how the reporters realize the news event in news-writing. A corpus was collected of comprising of 200 narrative news reports, collected from the major online newspapers such as New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Metro Times. The primary objective of this study was to use Coh-Metrix indices to retrieve the distinctive language features of narrative news, and a multivariate statistical technique to provide an empirical, statistical measurement. As a result, five linguistic dimensions of narrative journalism are found as being significant: 1) Lexico-Phrasal Familiarity Dimension, 2) Action Sequence Dimension, 3) Varied Word Position Dimension, 4) Diminished Noun Phrase Dimension, and 5) Casual Connectives Dimension. In sum, the discursive features of narrative journalism can be summarized as having enhanced comprehensibility, narrativity, and spoken discourse characteristics.
