An anthology that updates The Art of Fact: A Historical Anthology of Literary Journalism, featuring works that represent milestones from the late 1990s to the present, particularly achievements in longform storytelling with a strong digital presence.

The Art of Fact in the Digital Age is a showcase of the most powerful and moving journalism of the past 25 years.

Selections include stories originally published in established bastions of literary journalism (The New York Times, The Atlantic and The New Yorker), as well as those from specialized and online publications (Runner’s World, The Atavist). It features writers of extraordinary style (including Carina del Valle Schorske, Brian Phillips, and Jia Tolentino), as well as those who have profoundly influenced public discourse on the 21st century’s most urgent issues: Mitchell S. Jackson, Clint Smith, and Ta-Nehisi Coates on race; Susan Dominus and Luke Mogelson on migration; and Kathryn Schulz and David Wallace-Wells on environmental threats. It even includes one story that expanded literary journalism’s repertoire into audio (This American Life).

This collection, assembled for students, scholars, and practitioners alike, also charts the evolution of digital longform journalism through its greatest achievements, from transitioning readers to screens to the integration of multimedia with words in service of meaning. The art of fact in the 21st century opened new ranges of expression to address such issues, while uniquely bearing the imprint of their generation’s digital cultures and technologies. Although many forces compete for attention in the digital age, story triumphs. The works in this anthology show us why.

Jacqueline Marino is Professor in Kent State University’s School of Media and Journalism, USA. She is also a writer and a national Edward R. Murrow Award-winning audio journalist. Her articles and essays have appeared in many publications, including Cleveland Magazine and The Washington Post. She authored White Coats: Three Journeys Through an American Medical School (2012) and co-edited From Car Bombs to Cookie Tables: The Youngstown Anthology (2020), now in its second edition. David O. Dowling is Professor in the School of Journalism & Mass Communication at the University of Iowa, USA. He is the author of ten books and numerous articles on cultural production and creative industries from print to digital media. Among his most recent books are Podcast Journalism: The Promise and Perils of Audio Reporting (forthcoming), A Delicate Aggression: Savagery and Survival in the Iowa Writers’ Workshop (2019), and Immersive Longform Storytelling: Media, Technology, Audience (2019).
