Talk:New Journalism

Steinbeck is a candidate
Steinbeck's series that led to The Grapes of Wrath in the 1930s certainly qualifies. From the encyclopedia:

The Grapes of Wrath developed from The Harvest Gypsies, a series of seven articles that ran in the San Francisco News, from October 5 to 12, 1936. The newspaper commissioned that work on migrant workers from the Midwest in California's agriculture industry. (It was later compiled and published separately.)
