      10. Talese: “If you want to write about orgies, you’re not going to be in the press box with your little press badge keeping your distance."

      13. I think Thy Neighbor’s Wife offers good context for understanding the tricky ethical issues around Talese's New Yorker piece on voyeurs

      14. For Talese, immersing yourself in a story means to some degree merging your point of view with the people you are writing about.

      15. In a sense, New Journalism as practised by Talese has always been a kind of voyeurism. That adds to the unease over the new article.

      16. In sociology/anthropology, participant observers who immerse themselves in fraught subjects like sex or war have to get ethics oversight

      17. In journalism, there's little of that ethical oversight, so New Journalism can lead to someone (like Talese) in highly dodgy situation.

      18. This was an addendum but quite a few people asked me how Hunter Thompson & gonzo journalism fit into all this.

      19. If a New Journalist is like sociologist going to orgy, then Thompsons' gonzo journalism was like psychologist experimenting on own mind

      20. New Journalist immersed themselves in events, Thompson took step further & also immersed his mind in drugs & wrote about that.

          @HeerJeet Before he did that he wrote the classic "Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga" which showed how to mingle with psychos.

          @HeerJeet Sad part is, Thompson seemed to forget part of his own lesson right after he wrote the book.

          @HeerJeet You suggest these approaches to journalism were planned. I think they were ad hoc. We were all ad hoc then. (Esp. HThompson.)
