Graphic Reporting

I recently wrote "Graphic Reporting" a short feature for the Ryerson Review's site.

It's been 20 years since Art Spiegelman's Maus won a Pulitzer prize. Since then, many great non-fiction and reportage-style graphic novels have been published, like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, Richard Poplak's Kenk: A Graphic Portrait, Joe Sacco's Palestine, and more recently Chester Brown's Paying For It.


My article looks at how graphic novel journalism has progressed in the past couple decades, and what this means for readers and writers alike.

Also, don't forget to check out my That Was Then, This is Now posts on the RRJ blog. My most recent one is about Jian Ghomeshi and how he started out on the other side of the microphone.
