The article is a review of New Journalism, a literary and journalistic trend in the United States from 1960s to the 1980s. We provide a clear and simple definition of New Journalism, whileas there are many different and confusing definitions of its. By picturing its historical and cultural contexts as well as analyzing its objectives and writing strategies, we show that instead of being an unpractical and frivolous experiment, this is a serious reaction which represents the postmodern spirit and the engagement of journalism.
