Abstract: This article highlights the contribution of the New Journalism(s) to political campaign reporting. Self promoted by Tom Wolfe in the early eighties, this style of journalism combines intensive legwork and investigations to the mobilisation of literary skills and templates ; it will later borrow to social sciences too. Compared to the classics of Theodore White on the "Making of" the US presidents, differences are striking. New journalists are less deferential. They consider spin-doctors, consultants and the journalists'pack itself as part and parcel of a campaign's actors. They describe the growing gap between the professionals of politics and rank and file citizens. Part of this distance comes from a reflexive strategy for not "going native".
