The New Journalism was a style of journalism invented by Tom Wolfe who, when asked to write an assignment, sent his editor an unstructured narrative letter rather than the tight piece usually expected of a journalist of that time. The editor can take much of the credit for this creation in that he chose simply to remove the salutation from Wolfe's letter and print it as received.

The New Journalism took on many of the devices of literary fiction:

Journalists recognised as using the style include P. J. O'Rourke and Hunter S. Thompson whose extension of the bounds of journalistic acceptability was dubbed gonzo journalism.

The form is related to attitudes and style common to the beat generation.
