The two fields, regardless of being considered as separate entity, has its association in the course. This paper dwells into the two fields together, that is, on literary journalism and how literary journalism examines the blurring of boundaries between narrative writing and factual reporting through comparison of select works of narrative nonfiction. The text analysed is a novelistic piece, “The Yoga Store Murder” (2013) by Dan Morse. The study confronts the reluctance to acknowledge this form of reportage as authentic and reliable because its literariness is misconstrued as compromising the objectivity of the piece. The authors also examine how literary journalism fits within the rubric of both literature and journalism. The study addresses the following research questions: where do fact and fiction meet in literary journalistic narratives? how do we navigate questions of authenticity, reliability and journalistic integrity in narrative journalism? The questions will be attempted to be answered with a detailed analysis of a text of investigative journalism that is also nonfiction writing, though literary in nature.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Литература и журналистика - две научные области, которые на протяжении всей истории вызывали бесконечную дискуссию. Эти два поля, несмотря на то что они рассматриваются как отдельные объекты, ассоциируются друг с другом. В исследовании рассматриваются обе области одновременно, а именно литературная журналистика и то, как она стирает границы между повествовательным письмом и фактическим сообщением, посредством сравнения избранных произведений научно-повествовательной литературы. Анализируется роман Дэна Морса «Убийство в магазине йоги» (2013). Отмечается нежелание общества признавать данную форму репортажа как аутентичную и надежную, поскольку его литературность ошибочно истолковывается как компрометирующая объективность материала. Изучается, как литературная журналистика вписывается в рамки литературы и журналистики. Ставятся следующие исследовательские вопросы: где встречаются факты и вымысел в литературно-журналистских повествованиях? как решать вопросы аутентичности, надежности и журналистской честности в повествовательной журналистике? Предпринята попытка ответить на эти вопросы с помощью подробного анализа текста журналистских расследований, которые представляют собой документальные произведения, хотя и литературные по своей природе.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>journalism</kwd><kwd>fiction</kwd><kwd>nonfiction</kwd><kwd>investigation</kwd><kwd>reporters</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>литература</kwd><kwd>журналистика</kwd><kwd>художественная литература</kwd><kwd>документальная литература</kwd><kwd>репортеры</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abrams, M.H.
