"Norman joined the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette under the editorship of the celebrated W. T. Stead and became a prominent and prolific journalist in the heyday of the 'new journalism'.

An astute networker Norman reported on literary theatrical and political matters and came to know such figures as Robert Louis Stevenson William Archer Walter Pater Henry Irving George Bernard Shaw and Walt Whitman. In 1887 he set off on a four-year world tour on behalf of several international newspapers reporting from places as far apart as Canada Siberia the Philippines Siam and Japan.
