Narrative writing ... should it be different on the Web?

There's an interesting dialogue going on right now on Gangrey.com about storytelling/narrative writing and whether it should be different on the Web.

Some feel Web means stories should be shorter with lots of multimedia elements.

Others feel that good writing is good writing -- no matter the medium.

Check out this story from the Times-Herald Record of New York. Be warned: the story is about a murder; some of the writing and photos are of a graphic nature.

What are your thoughts on the story? Does narrative writing have a place on the Web?
