What is para journalism?

... seems to be journalism with cream —"the collection and dissemination of current news"—
but the appearance is deceptive. It is a bastard form, having it both ways, exploiting the factual authority of journalism and the atmospheric license of fiction.

The journalist fictionalises some details to get a larger 'reality.'  
No one asks the reader.

The fictions elements elevates the writers to the grandstand...where he can, yes, you guessed
it, Grandstand.
