Journalism

Literary journalism is...

A blend of journalistic reporting with narrative forms of storytelling that are more commonly associated with fiction writing. It may range from a brief colour piece to extensive long-form journalism, including that published in book form... Literary journalism may be produced by journalists adopting a more ‘writerly’ style than that allowed by the classic inverted pyramid model of news, by novelists and other creators of fiction trying their hand at non-fiction, and by people who manage to slip back and forth between both genres.
