I'm looking for top notch journalism. In-depth, well researched and beautifully written articles and essays.
Where should I look /lit/? Content is less important than quality. If you have journal or magazine recs I'm into that.
To keep the thread alive post your favorite article/essay.

All memery aside, DFW wrote some quite interesting essays that are worth a read IMO.

Read Harpers and the New Yorker and related publications for that type of shit. Don't listen to pseuds who say Hunter S. Thompson because that dude was a meme author who apparently plagiarized his quotables (I just discovered this first hand). His writing is tedious and boring as fuck in his professional journalistic pieces. I would recommend Wallace Thurman from previous readings and of course any of the modern classics, like Arthur Miller, etc. But, I'm not extremely well read, though I've been through a share of classics and some obscure titles.
This is something I had to read as an undergraduate and it opens your mind up to a lot, including post-modern dialogue: http://innovate.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Winner-Do-Artifacts-Have-Politics-1980.pdf

You're right, I'll qualify.
I want very well researched and also very well written articles and essays, in which the writer clearly has a knack for the trade, and isn't JUST a reporter.
In March 2012 the faculty at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University, together with an Honorary Committee of alumni, selected “the 100 Outstanding Journalists in the United States in the Last 100 Years.” The list was selected from more than 300 nominees plus write-ins and was announced at a reception in honor of the 100th anniversary of journalism education at NYU on April 3, 2012.
