Unlike the â€˜Iâ€™ of autobiography, who is meant to be seen as a representation of the writer, the â€˜Iâ€™ of journalism is connected to the writer only in a tenuous wayâ€”the way, say, that Superman is connected to Clark Kent. The journalistic â€˜Iâ€™ is an overreliable narrator, a functionary to whom crucial tasks of narration and argument and tone have been entrusted, an ad hoc creation, like the chorus of Greek tragedy. He is an emblematic figure, an embodiment of the idea of the dispassionate observer of life.”
