Gonzo journalism originator Hunter S. Thompson in 1989

Gonzo Today is an internet-based publication inspired by the writing and reporting style of gonzo journalism popularized by Hunter Thompson. Among other pursuits, Gonzo Today interviews a wide range of notable persons, as noted by the New York Times obituary of poet and artist Heathcote Williams[2] and includes other interview subjects such as artist Clayton Patterson,[3] Ambrosia band members Mary Harris and Burleigh Drummond[4] and former CIA agent and whistleblower, John Kiriakou.[5]

Gonzo Today features a banner created by Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas illustrator Ralph Steadman,[6] who has also been interviewed by Gonzo Today.[7] Several Gonzo Today articles have been reprinted and archived by the International Times.[8]

Staff

As of July 2017 Gonzo Today lists noted poet and author Ron Whitehead [9] as its poetry editor. Whitehead, a Hunter Thompson friend and associate, has worked for many years to honor Thompson's legacy, including an annual spring "Gonzofest" held in Louisville, Kentucky.[10] Gonzo Today has been acknowledged as a noted contributor to Gonzofest.[11]

Founder and editor Clayton Luce, his wife and co-founder Jaslyn, editor-in-chief David Pratt and art director Joey Feldman played major roles in the formative years along with a substantial group of writing contributors and artists.[12] Luce and Whitehead's travels to interview Thompson's son and author Juan Thompson have been documented in the Louisville paper LEO Weekly.[13]

In 2017 the editor-in-chief was Kyle K. Mann, and the publisher was Kidman J. Williams.[14]
