New journalism

Japanese: ニュー・ジャーナリズム(英語表記)new journalism
New journalism
A form of journalism that was born in the United States in the 1960s. As a criticism of traditional journalism, which was dominated by publications from public institutions, this form of journalism aims to discover news on one's own, and provide more accurate facts and information based on thorough research. It is generally carried out by one journalist, not a group. Some criticize it as fiction, as it includes psychological descriptions of the subjects of the articles and reenactments of secret conversations. The fruits of new journalism include Gay Talese's Honor Thy Father (1971), which deals with the Mafia, Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff (1979), which depicts the training and real life of astronauts, D. Halberstam's The Best and the Brightest (1972), and B. Woodward and C. Bernstein's co-authored All the President's Men (1974).

Japanese:
1960年代のアメリカに生まれたジャーナリズム。公的機関などの〈発表もの〉が大半を占めていた従来のジャーナリズムへの批判として,みずから〈ニュース〉を発見し,徹底した取材に基づき,より正確な事実・情報の提供を目ざす。集団ではなく基本的には1人のジャーナリストによって行われる。記事の対象となる人物の心理描写,密談の再現なども含まれるため,フィクションではないかという批判も一部にある。マフィアを扱ったゲイ・タリーズの《汝の父を敬え》(1971),宇宙飛行士の訓練や実生活を描いたトム・ウルフの《ザ・ライト・スタッフ》(1979)をはじめ,D.ハルバースタム《ベスト&ブライテスト》(1972),B.ウッドワードとC.バーンスタインの共著《大統領の陰謀》(1974)などがニュー・ジャーナリズムの収穫といえよう。
