Code: Select all

Gonzo Journalism is a journalistic style, most famously used by Hunter S. Thompson. The name was coined by Bill Cardoso. Central to Gonzo Journalism is the notion that journalism can be more truthful without strict observance of traditional rules of factual reportage. The best work in the genre is characterised by a novelistic twist added to reportage, with usual standards of accuracy subjugated to catching the mood of a place or event.

Not that I required the services of wikipedia to understand the joke (I actually learned about "gonzo journalism" from a playboy TV program).

Aha. I had assumed this had something to do with the death of Gonzo's voice actor. Which about demonstrates my knowledge of journalism.
