This paper focuses on the form and critical meaning of digital interactive articles. Digital interactive articles can be seen on the most widely-viewed professional news websites. With regard to such articles, this paper discusses technological issues, means of presenting narrative meaning, and the ability to demonstrate the alienation of text. The alienation theory of Bertolt Brecht is used in discussing how digital interactive articles can show how to "alienate" text. This paper proposes that, when in use, interactive digital articles may be able to show critical meaning. Therefore, it is argued that a writer, when writing a digital interactive article, should consider form as well as content. It is emphasized that different ways of showing interactive content could raise the consciousness of audiences to understand uncertainty regarding the meaning of articles, leading to meaningful understanding of possible historical social changes.
