Summary/Abstract: This study explores the editorial practices of Decât o Revistă (DoR), a publication that established narrative journalism in Romania and promoted a distinctive journalistic approach for 13 years, differing from mainstream media. Using content analysis on a corpus of 170 journalistic texts published between 20092022, this research examines how DoR’s style is constructed within the Romanian media ecosystem from the perspective of narrative journalism. The main findings of the study reveal a limited application of the writing techniques defined by the normative theory of narrative journalism in editorial practice.
