While I may not agree with the parent's comment, it appears he is referring to the term "New Journalism" which encourages a subjective point of view. This term was apparently "codified with its current meaning by Tom Wolfe" [0].

- ghaff 8y agoWhile I really liked The Right Stuff, this is the basic problem I have with elevating it above, say, Bonfire of the Vanities. It’s presented in the vein of a historical account but you’re also presumably not expected to put too much faith in specific details and characterizations. Everything is subjective at some level of course but I’m not really a fan of it’s factual except when things need to be colored to make a better story.
