In journalism argot, a “writearound” is a profile written without access to its subject because that person is dead or can’t talk or, more likely, doesn’t want to. Reporting a writearound can be a vexing, monthslong marathon, requiring you to read everything that has ever been written by or about your subject, scour archives for old footage or audio, and track down and try to interview as many of the subject’s acquaintances as possible. The process can feel like a parody of a law enforcement sting, with low-level sources “flipped” to gain access to more important ones and the writer inching through concentric circles of proximity to encircle his target slowly.
