New Journalism

New Journalism is a style of reporting that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, blending traditional journalistic methods with literary techniques. Journalists sought to immerse themselves in their stories, often incorporating personal narratives, detailed descriptions, and emotional depth to engage readers more deeply. This approach allows for a more vivid and subjective portrayal of events, focusing on the experiences of individuals involved. Notable figures like Tom Wolfe and Truman Capote popularized this style, emphasizing storytelling and the exploration of social issues while maintaining factual integrity. New Journalism challenged the objective norms of traditional reporting.
