  New Journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Journalism was the name given to a style of news writing and journalism.
It was codified with its current meaning by Tom Wolfe in 1973 when he published "The New Journalism." Wolfe unwittingly published his first New Journalism style article in 1963; having trouble writing an assignment, he sent his editor an unstructured narrative letter rather than the tight piece usually expected of a journalist of that time.
Articles in the New Journalism style tended not to be found in newspapers, but rather in magazines such as The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Esquire Magazine, CoEvolution Quarterly and for a short while Scanlan's Monthly.

A key finding was that 96 percent of the civic journalism projects used an "explanatory" story frame to cover public issues instead of a more traditional "conflict" frame, which often reports two opposing viewpoints.
The study traced the development of civic journalism from early efforts to create citizen-focused election coverage in the early-'90s through large projects addressing major community problems in the mid-'90s.
The authors said their estimate of papers practicing civic journalism is conservative, because it analyzes only those projects submitted to the Pew Center -- either for funding, for the Batten Awards for Excellence in Civic Journalism or for recognition or advice from the Center.

 ArtandCulture Movement: New Journalism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Objectivity was the bitterly fought-over trump card: old-school journalism demanded a “just the fact, ma’am” adherence to fossilized codes of purely objective reportage, while young “interpretive” journalists argued that objectivity was irrelevant in a culture mediated by the PR press.
New Journalists claimed that they could not accurately describe the times without adding emotion; thus, literary spices of sound, plot, setting, feelings, direct quotes, and imagery were added to a basic stock.
Joan Didion’s ultra-literary, ultra-minimalist prose brought the journalistic essay to new artistic heights, and Hunter S. Thompson (the self-styled creator of “Gonzo journalism”) cut his journalistic teeth on socio-cultural reportage (“Hell’s Angels,” 1966) before his twisted, first-person ravings radicalized an even newer age of New Journalism.

 Modern Journalism
Truman Capote is known for developing "New Journalism," a style of writing that was a cross between journalism and literature.
In 1932, Truman moved to New York to live with his mother and her new husband, Joe Capote, whom she had met and married shortly after leaving Truman’s father, Arch.
Tom Wolfe, a contemporary of Capote, defined this new style as "reporting that read like fiction." He identified four common narrative techniques that characterized the style: 1) detailed scene construction 2) complete dialogue from interviews instead of subjective quotes 3) point-of-view variation, and 4) details about the characters in the story (Connery, 3).

It is becoming clear that millions of people are turning to weblogs for news, information, commentary and entertainment -ñ just for the pure joy of taking in writing thatís vivid, vibrant, telegenic, emotion-laden, and driven by personal experience rather than the formula of detachment that deadens far too much traditional journalism.

 How New Journalism Became Old News - November 21, 2005 - The New York Sun
In quick succession, New Journalism classics like "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," "Slouching Towards Bethlehem," and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" announced a new style of writing that seemed to have limitless potential.
Yet by the time Tom Wolfe coined the phrase "The New Journalism," in a 1973 collection, it was already dying, killed by poor imitation, the growth of television - which enervated the lively magazine world - and its own self-indulgent weaknesses.
He focuses on a period from 1965 to 1972 when the new journalistic world was dawning and magazines like Esquire, Rolling Stone, and New York (originally the Sunday supplement of the New York Herald Tribune) were publishing remarkable pieces by writers like Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion, and Norman Mailer.
