Later this week I'm going to write for a jazz magazine as a reporter of a 4 day long jazz festival. The plan is to write it in gonzo style. I have the accommodation and the booze sorted. Do you have any resources or tips for me about writing in gonzo?

Well read some of hunter's books, analyse his style, his method, find inspiration in other styles of literature or in other authors of gonzo, don't forget that it's still a work of journalism, you have to expose informations, the subjective tone is here to help you make the reading easier, re-create an overall atmosphere, and to allow a more subjective analysis. Also don't forget that the film really focuses on drugs with Johnny Depp overacting as always, so... keep in mind to not do too much. Nothing much else to say...good luck.
How did you get into journalism ? I want to be journalist latter, I'm still a student rn

Make sure you don't write about jazz unless you know what you're talking about

Practicing journalist with a degree and everything here. Please don't. I have so many friends who tried, and 99 times out of 100 it's garbage. Hunter got away with it because he was brilliant, and it was kinda becoming fashionable at the time. It isn't in fashion now and it's fuck hard to pull off. If you really are going to insist on doing it, ask yourself what effect being drunk and including yourself actually contributes to the text.
