The New Journalist

The New Journalist refers to a movement that emerged in the 1960s emphasizing a more personal, investigative, and socially conscious approach to journalism. Unlike traditional reporters who focused on objective reporting of facts, New Journalists often incorporated literary techniques, personal storytelling, and in-depth exploration to engage readers and highlight social issues. They aimed to uncover deeper truths behind headlines, blending factual reporting with narrative style, and often challenged established norms of journalism to promote transparency, activism, and a greater understanding of complex topics.
