> As the art world eagerly embraces a journalistic 
> approach, Aesthetic Journalism explores why 
> contemporary art exhibitions often consist of 
> interviews, documentaries and reportage. This 
> new mode of journalism is grasping more and more 
> space in modern culture and Cramerotti probes 
> the current merge of art with the sphere of 
> investigative journalism. The attempt to map 
> this field, here defined as ?Aesthetic 
> Journalism?, challenges, with clear language, 
> the definitions of both art and journalism, and 
> addresses a new mode of information from the 
> point of view of the reader and viewer.
>
> The book explores how the production of truth 
> has shifted from the domain of the news media to 
> that of art and aestheticism. With examples and 
> theories from within the contemporary art and 
> journalistic-scape, the book questions the very 
> foundations of journalism. Aesthethic Journalism 
> suggests future developments of this new 
> relationship between art and documentary 
> journalism, offering itself as a useful tool to 
> audiences, scholars, producers and critics alike.
>
> ?An inspiring and well written overview of 
> reportage and information practices in art.?
