Question 1

Habits 2 quiz-exam questions
-In journalism, horse race coverage is another term for literary journalism. The term comes from Hunter Thompson's famous essay, "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved."

Accepted Answer

Horse race coverage refers to the style of political reporting where the focus is on who is ahead or behind in the polls, rather than the issues themselves. Literary journalism is a style of non-fiction writing that incorporates literary techniques such as character development, dialogue, and description to tell a true story. While Hunter Thompson's essay did cover the Kentucky Derby, it is an example of literary journalism, not horse race coverage.
