Truth as the key to immersion reporting

The Washington Post's David Finkel discusses his pair of books on the Iraq War in an appearance at the Nieman Foundation: "The thing I want to emphasize, all of this stuff, whatever you might think of writing or longform writing or 'feature writing' or immersion writing, the term I prefer is reporting. Every sentence in this book is, first and foremost, an act of and a result of reporting. Every line in this book, there’s nothing assumed. There’s nothing imagined."
