nounpeople journalism (uncountable)
- uncountablejournalismJournalism taking for its subject the lives of celebrities rather than traditional news and current affairs.
For subjects, we decided to go to pictures of people, San Francisco people, whether they were celebrities or not. This sounds like another obvious move, since "people journalism" has been a successful formula for 20 years now.
