Old journalism needs new tool because objective reporting just gives facts but does not communicate truth. Old journalism not good at capturing emotion. New journalism argue that when you loose emotion, you loose half of the data therefore, need to write with emotion. Neutral language (ex: said instead of exclaimed) (cid:887) w"s +h (who, when, why, where, what, how)
