Literary Journalism in the United States of America and Slovenia

Slovenia is acquiring some literary journalism written by Slovene journalists and writers. Author Sonja Merljak Zdovc suggests that more Slovene writers should prefer literary journalism because nonfiction is based on truth facts and data and appeals more to readers interested in real world stories. The honest precise profound and sophisticated voice of literary journalism is becoming increasingly good for newspaper circulation as it reaches not just the mind but also the heart of the reader. Thus the world of Slovene journalism should also take a turn towards the stylized literary journalism seen in the United States. There journalists and writers realize that through literary journalism they could perhaps end a general decline of traditional print media by restoring to readers stories that uncover the universal struggle of the human condition.
