楊渡上窮碧落下黃泉地追索報導文學的身世，從起源、濫觴到工業革命後報紙新聞報導興起，以及真正意義上報導文學的誕生後，舉凡原理、定義、定位、形式、內容、精神、方法等，無一掛漏，完整講述報導文學寫作法。書中列舉古今中外報導文學、不可錯過的經典與當代名著，含括義大利《馬可‧波羅遊記》，中國唐朝《悟空入竺記》，德國海因里希．海涅《哈茨山遊記》，捷克伊貢．艾爾溫．基希〈一種危險的文學形式〉，民初朱自清〈執政府大屠殺記〉、夏衍《包身工》、黃鋼〈開麥拉之前的汪精衛〉，美國傑克．倫敦的《深淵居民》、約翰．里德《震撼世界的十天︰蘇聯的誕生》、愛德加．帕克斯．史諾的《紅星照耀中國》、斯塔茲．特克爾《美國夢》，哥倫比亞加布列．賈西亞．馬奎《一個海難倖存者的故事》、《智利祕密行動》，俄羅斯斯維拉娜．亞歷塞維奇《二手時代：追求自由的烏托邦之路二手時間》、《車諾比的聲音：來自二十世紀最大災難的見證》，波蘭維特多．沙博爾夫斯基《獨裁者的廚師》，臺灣官鴻志〈不孝兒英伸〉、藍博洲《幌馬車之歌》、白曉紅《隱形性產業：英國移民性工作者》和《邊境人生：在歐洲顛沛流離的難民與移民》還有《再見，烏斯曼：Made in Italy 背後的剝削和種族隔離》、關曉榮《八尺門：再現2%的希望與奮鬥》和《尊嚴與屈辱──國境邊陲．蘭嶼1987》、范毅舜的《老家人：范毅舜攝影文集老家人》，中國張辛欣、桑曄《北京人：一百個普通人的自述》，以及楊渡撰寫的《民間的力量》、《強控制解體》、《簡吉：臺灣農民運動史詩》、《未燒書》等書。《我們如何記憶這時代──報導文學十三講》是報導文學大家楊渡曾經身在高雄拆船廠、臺灣鹿港反杜邦運動、蘭嶼反核運動，乃至中國六四天安門事件的在場者，用盡心神見證及書寫的報導文學全攻略，涉及了許多採訪實作的建議與討論；同時也是楊渡對《人間》雜誌創刊人陳映真念茲在茲的永恆之問「人應該怎樣活著，才算是真正的活過？」的致敬與回應。「在重大的事件中，新聞關注的是事件發生的事實，而報導文學關注的，永遠是人，是生命。新聞只要講清楚事件的來龍去脈，但文學是要描寫其中的人性。報導文學之不同於一般新聞，不僅是文學，也不僅是故事，而是觀點。報導文學是「入世」的文學，甚至是「淑世」的文學。事實只代表一部分的真相，它並不等於全局的真實。要看清局部的真相，不能只看局部的現象，而是要有更大的全局的觀照，才能了解事件的脈絡。對新聞來說，局部
