Sterefork Innovates New Form Of Journalism. Your Mind = Blown

According to my old comm. theory prof., academic work only counts if you "add to scholarship." That is, find a dinosaur bone, discover DNA is in a double helix... or, in our case, identify a new mode of communication that was previously non-existent.

That's right dear reader, your genius friends at Stereofork aren't simply snark-wielding ninjas - we're also Foucault-reading moffos creating some mind-blowing communication theory. Suck it.

As you may be aware, journalism is stratified into different categories. There's the boring stuff like "Hard News" or "political journalism," the slightly more interesting "photojournalism," the My-Sister-Just-Got-A-Phone-Cam oeuvre known as "citizen journalism" and our favorite, "Gonzo journalism." Pioneered by writer/legend Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo journalism encouraged things like taking copious amounts of drugs, carousing with rock stars and politicians then making up half of what you write later. That, dear friends, is journalism we can stand behind!

But due to the fact that we don't have HST's contacts (both in the celebrity world and drug world), we've decided to innovate a new form of ghetto journalism we call simply: Drunk Journalism.

Drunk Journalism is the brainchild of Stereofork writer Scott who possesses the arcane ability to get completely wasted while reporting on events in 140 characters or less. We know what you're thinking, impossible. But yes, it's true. Pulitzer committee, we're awaiting your call.

This new form of writing ignores journalistic trivialities like "conflict of interest" or "correct grammar" and highlights the beauty of things like caps lock, tacos and virtual booty calling.

So, we now present you, the world's first article identified as "drunk journalism."
A brief offering simply titled "MSO 15 Y PARTY SC0T DRNK," the piece chronicles the goings on at a music publicity firm's 15 year anniversary party with both brevity and panache. Prepare yourself for the best thing to happen to the writing world since Don DeLillo got off anti-depressants.
