Gonzo Journalism
Gonzo Journalism is a style of journalism that blends facts with the reporter's personal experiences and emotions. It often involves the journalist immersing themselves in the story, becoming part of the narrative rather than remaining an objective observer. This approach aims to provide a more vivid and engaging account of events.
The term was popularized by Hunter S. Thompson, who used it in his writings during the 1970s. Gonzo pieces often feature a first-person perspective, unconventional storytelling, and a focus on the subjective experience, challenging traditional journalistic norms and emphasizing the reporter's viewpoint.
