New Journalism is a style of news writing that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, characterized by a more immersive and narrative approach. It blends factual reporting with literary techniques, allowing journalists to convey the emotional and human aspects of a story. Prominent figures in this movement include Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson, who emphasized personal experience and subjective viewpoints.
This approach often involves detailed descriptions, character development, and dialogue, making stories more engaging for readers. New Journalism aims to provide a deeper understanding of events by capturing the complexities of human experiences, rather than just presenting dry facts.
