The following article examines the forms and functions of literariness in journalism. Following Italo Calvino, literariness is understood as a specific aesthetic of detour, which is put into the service of an ethics of journalistic communication. For this purpose, report- ages from the interwar period (by Pierre Mac Orlan and Joseph Kessel) and, in an outlook, also from the immediate present (by Philippe Pujol and Roberto Saviano) will be discussed. Furthermore, in a transnational comparison, the country-specific handling of literariness in journalism is explored.
