In 1997, Kevin Kerrane and I published The Art of Fact: A Historical Anthology of Literary Journalism. A great deal of stellar journalism has been produced in the more than a quarter of a century since then, and The Art of Fact in the Digital Age is an outstanding compendium of the best of the best. Jaqueline Marino and David O. Dowling have wisely and judiciously selected a group of pieces that shows the remarkable range-in subject matter, approach, style, and format-of today's standout journalists. Highly recommended for anyone who aspires to join their ranks, or merely wants to appreciate the state of the journalistic art.

Captivating, moving, breathtaking: who said textbooks can't be page-turners? This volume heralds a new wave of literary journalism, vividly illustrating how to 'make facts dance' in the digital era. Along the way, a new genre is established and canonized: digital literary journalism at its best.

Jacqueline Marino and David O. Dowling's compelling new anthology demonstrates the way literary journalism has endured and changed in the digital age. The texts highlighted here show the impact of technical innovation on the form, while confirming good writing still lies at its heart. Presented by the authors with informative introductions to the stories, the collection illustrates how successful the marriage of commanding storytelling and digital technology can be, while describing a significant new wave in literary journalism's ongoing evolution.
