What is aesthetic journalism?
Below are class contributions, in an endeavour to understand/ define what aesthetic journalism is:
1) Allows room for the imagination and for the audience to 'complete' the work; information practice that has been conveyed in an open way; and addresses the means of representation and allowing the medium of representation to reveal itself in an effort to gain trust. These three points must work in tandem.
2) A reaction to contemporary circumstances / Organizing information instead of making new information
3) Has the intention to make change that is real / to have an impact
4) Is a type of activism / intention of informing with a political undertone
5) A way to convey information that is felt and embodied not only rationalized. It must trigger a response that is compassionate
6) Gives the opportunity to read differently
7) It is futile
8) It is a practice used by artists to gain currency
9) It is ambiguous.
