A method of interviewing or reporting that replaces standard editorial bias with controlled chaos. Coined and popularized by creative technologist Finbarre Snarey, it uses external "chance" engines - like Tarot cards to dictate the flow of a conversation. Unlike traditional journalism, which seeks a specific narrative, Aleatory Journalism forces the subject and the interviewer to react to "The Draw," often bypassing rehearsed PR answers to reach a more raw truth. It’s basically Gonzo Journalism for the digital age, but with more data and fewer drugs.
