Preferred term

literary journalism  

Definition

  • Scholars and observers of American journalism have spent considerable effort attempting to define a form of expression that many have come to call literary or narrative journalism. As the terms suggest, this journalistic form occupies a space between the imaginative nature of fictive literature on one hand, and the empiricism of the objective, inverted pyramid style of news report on the other.
