Sumario:The article presents partial results of research on the presence, in journalistic works, of the four characteristics of the “new journalism”, defined by Tom Wolfe (2005). We empirically verified whether there is the presence of attributes that would be literary in reportage books most cited by American and, above all, Brazilian theorists. We are finding that narration does not occur in alternating scenes, narrators are not characters, dialogue is rare and significant details, when they exist, can hardly be qualified as realistic.
