A relatively new term, literary journalism (LJ) is not a new genre. The roots of LJ lie in the approach to journalism of writers such as Daniel Defoe, George Orwell, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck. It refers to print journalism that combines immersion reporting with elegant narrative. LJ tends to be taught in journalism departments as a form of reporting and not in the writing ones where creative nonfiction is taught. But, today there is no so implicit difference between the two.
