New Journalism is the process of taking a non-fiction event and writing it down as if it was fictional. This is commonly done by adding dialogue in the story that may not have actually taken place during the event. I dialogue even did take place during the event what exactly was said does not have to be put into the story exactly how it was said. I personally think this is a great and refreshing way to tell a story compared to the usually boring tone of regular newspaper articles. Tom Wolfe is said to be the creator of New Journalism in 1960 and wrote a book called "The New Journalism." Inside he said "It showed me the possibility of there being something ‘new' in journalism." (Wolfe 14) Even though this is an interesting way of telling a non-fiction story newspapers rarely publish articles this way, instead magazines tend to publish more of there articles in this style.
