Gonzo Journalism 

A form of journalism invented by Hunter S. Thompson. It involves the reporter reporting the action as he/she is in it. Elements are part experience and part fiction. The best example of Gonzo journalism is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It was a book from 1971 made into a Johnny Depp movie in 1998.

From fisrt glance, I knew immedialtely that this God-forshaken rest stop was no place for a Gonzo journalist.

Guy: Bet you had pull out the Journalism face while listening to that.

broccoli journalism 

Newspapers & other media insistently & usually patronizingly telling us things we already know or can work out for ourselves on the basis this information is "good for us"

Mary snorted in disgust at the newspaper article on the correlation between smoking & lung cancer, drinking & cirrhosis of the liver & excess calorie consumption & weight gain. She hated this kind of broccoli journalism.

Mary decided this was a good time to have a cigarette, a chocolate bar & a glass of wine.
