Also known as long-form, narrative, or even “New” journalism, literary journalism blends the craft of reporting with the art of storytelling, favoring innovation over mass-production, creativity over predictability. While it has its own forms and tropes, literary journalism borrows narrative tools from other genres while professing an allegiance to truth.
