Preferred term

books as journalism  

Definition

  • Journalistic books are described in many ways. Sometimes they are classified as “new journalism” or “new new journalism”; at other times such books are seen as “literary” or “literary narrative” journalism, sometimes as “literary nonfiction,” or “nonfiction reportage,” “journalit,” or “nonfiction novel.” There are varying arguments about what makes a nonfiction book a journalistic work rather than a literary one.
