Explanatory journalism or explanatory reporting is a form of reporting that attempts to present ongoing news stories in a more accessible manner by providing greater context than would be presented in traditional news sources.[1][2][3] The term is often associated with the explanatory news website Vox,[1][4][5] but explanatory reporting (previously explanatory journalism) has also been a Pulitzer Prize category since 1988.[6]
