The concept of explanatory journalism tries to answer which type of questions more?

Explanatory journalism concentrates most on answering why questions.

Its purpose is to unpack the reasons and context behind an event rather than just report it.

Where questions ask only about location and are the concern of routine news reporting.

Which questions seek to single out one item from a set and are not the focus of explanatory work.

When questions fix the timing of an event and belong to basic factual reporting.

By pressing the why, explanatory journalism supplies the background and causation the audience needs.

It thus complements the who, what, where and when of standard news.
