Does anyone besides me question this terminology? I wonder whether the
article
qualifies as what most people understand as "investigative journalism"--it's
not as if Pynchon unearthed covered-up documents or solved a crime. I've
seen the term "literary journalism." Would that be more appropriate? Anyone
got a copy of Journalism 101 handy?
