Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer in the Context of the Main Features of New New JournalismThe aim of this article is to present Jon Krakauer’s reportage Into Thin Air in the context of the main features of New New Journalism. The author critically discusses the most important elements of this paradigm, which refers on the one hand to the legacy of muckrakers from the beginning of 20th-century, and on the other hand – to the tradition of American reporters from the 1960s and 1970s. Detailed research was devoted to the Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air, which has been described as a journalistic syncretic form, combining elements of auto-reportage, immersive reportage and paraliterature.
