Zusammenfassung
"A first-of-its-kind guide for new media times, this book provides practical, step-by-step instructions for writing first-person features, essays, and digital content. Combining journalism techniques with self-exploration and personal storytelling, this book aims to help readers to develop their personal voice and establish a narrative stance. The book introduces nine elements of first-person journalism-Passion, Self-reporting, Stance, Observation, Attribution, Counterpoints, Time Travel, the Mix, and Impact. Two introductory chapters define first-person journalism and its value in building trust with a public now skeptical of traditional news media. The following nine practice chapters each focus on one first-person element, presenting a sequence of "voice lessons" with a culminating writing assignment, such as a personal trend story or an open letter. Examples are drawn from diverse nonfiction writers and journalists, including Ta-Nehisi Coates, Joan Didion, Helen Garner, Alex Tizon, and James Baldwin. Together, the book provides a fresh look at the craft of nonfiction, offering much-needed advice on writing with style, authority, and a unique point of view. Written with a knowledge of the rapidly changing digital media environment, First-Person Journalism is a key text for journalism and media students interested in personal nonfiction, as well as for early-career nonfiction writers looking to develop this narrative form"--
