Rise of Gonzo Journalism in WEHO

With the release of his new book, Mitch Rubman is a modern-day Gonzo Journalist

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mitch Rubman is a modern-day Gonzo journalist known for immersive storytelling, exploring diverse cities, and capturing personal, first-person experiences. His writing takes readers through a variety of cities, including Lima, Cairo, the East Village in New York, and Boston. His reporting intertwines heartfelt personal interactions, cultural immersion, and often romantic experiences, reflecting the classic Gonzo style where the journalist is both reporter and participant. Rubman blends exploration of urban and historical settings with personal narrative, making the reader witness to his direct experiences.

Gonzo journalism, pioneered by Hunter S. Thompson in 1970, is a style in which the journalist becomes part of the story, using a first-person, subjective, participatory narrative. Instead of adhering to objectivity, Gonzo writers often incorporate humor, sarcasm, hyperbole, and personal reflection, creating an intimate blend of fact and personal experience.

This approach emphasizes the journalist’s perspective while addressing broader cultural or social themes. Rubman’s work exemplifies Gonzo journalism through Immersion: He travels to different locations and engages directly with people and cultures, similar to Thompson’s methodology.

First-Person Storytelling: His narratives recount events and personal encounters, making the narrative subjective yet intimately connected to authentic experiences. Cultural Exploration: Rubman’s choice of cities like Cairo or Lima allows him to interweave social commentary, personal insight, and observational reporting, which is a hallmark of Gonzo journalism

Sources, Relevance and Influence: While not as historically iconic as Hunter S. Thompson, Rubman continues the Gonzo tradition of immersive, character-driven journalism. By combining travel, cultural observation, and personal narrative, his stories maintain the essential characteristics of the genre: subjectivity, immediacy, and an intertwining of personal experience with broader social insights

In summary, Mitch Rubman embodies a contemporary Gonzo journalist by taking readers on vivid, first-person adventures while exploring people, places, and social environments, keeping alive the spirit of the unconventional and participatory style that defines Gonzo journalism.
