Bringing together ten chapters by some of the most important scholars of literary journalism around the world, this book covers a range of topics that are key to understanding the role of literary journalism as both a practice and a topic of academic study. Beginning with an introduction that situates literary journalism in its historical context, the chapters go on to address the basic definitional problem of literary journalism; the rhetorical strategies of literary journalists; the negotiated roles of subjects and storytellers; gender; geography; the role of literary journalism in fostering the public imagination; and the role of literary journalism in education. The chapters draw on contemporary and relatable case studies, which help readers link broader themes with their practical applications. This volume concludes with an Afterword by Bill Reynolds, editor of Literary Journalism Studies, which reflects on the preceding chapters and critically on the direction in which the field is heading in the near future. Insights on Literary Journalism is highly recommended reading for advanced scholars and researchers of Literary Journalism as well as Literature and Media History.
