Thompson on Journalism, Politics, and the Subjective. By Maria Popova “There is no such thing as Objective Journalism.
The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.” An iconoclastic hero of the written word, Hunter S. Thompson (July 18, 1937–February 20, 2005) endures as the godfather of “gonzo journalism” — that once-radical, now-ubiquitous style of New Journalism that does away with claims of capital-O objectivity and instead inserts the author into the story as an active first-person narrator.
