Page "New Journalism" Paragraph 3

Various trends and tendencies throughout the history of American Journalism have been labeled " new journalism.

" Robert E. Park, for instance, in his Natural History of the Newspaper, referred to the advent of the penny press in the 1830s as " new journalism.

" Likewise, the appearance of the yellow press, papers such as Joseph Pulitzer's New York World in the 1880s, led journalists and historians to proclaim that a " New Journalism " had been created.

Ault and Emery, for instance, said " Industrialization and urbanization changed the face of America during the latter half of the Nineteenth century, and its newspapers entered an era known as that of the ' New Journalism.

'" In 1960, John Hohenberg, in The Professional Journalist, called the interpretive reporting which developed after World War II a " new journalism which not only seeks to explain as well as to inform ; it even dares to teach, to measure, to evaluate.
