Gonzo Journalist Mouse Mat

Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story via a first-person narrative. The word "gonzo" is believed to be first used in 1970 to describe an article by Hunter S. Thompson, who later popularised the style. The term has since been applied to other subjective artistic endeavours. Gonzo journalism tends to favour style over fact to achieve accuracy—if accuracy is in fact meant to be achieved at all—and often uses personal experiences and emotions to provide context for the topic or event being covered. It disregards the "polished", edited product favored by newspaper media and strives for a more gritty, personable approach—the personality of a piece is just as important as the event the piece is on. Use of quotations, sarcasm, humour, exaggeration, and profanity is common. Globe Trotters specialises in idiosyncratic imagery from around the globe.
