New Journalism includes no authors past the 16th century.
Wolfe identified the four main devices New Journalists borrowed from literary fiction:Telling the story using scenes rather than historical narrative as much as possibleDialogue in full (conversational speech rather than quotations and statements)Point-of-view (present every scene through the eyes of a particular character)Recording everyday details such as behavior, possessions, friends and family (which indicate the "status life" of the character)Despite these elements, New Journalism is not fiction
 The New Journalism involves a depth of reporting and an attention to the most minute facts and details that most newspapermen, even the most experienced, have never dreamed of
