Just to make it clear - my beef is not with HSJ himself but with the followers. Yeah, it made sense for him to write this way. But I hate digging through this shitty "first-person, rich in detail" narration just to get to a mildly interesting interview or report from an event.

Ah, then your best not to turn to him or his followers for that kind of writing.
As a rule I go to newspapers for terse/concise reports and interviews. I go to magazines and long-form articles for a larger picture. Trying it any other way will probably just be frustrating no matter who's writing.
