Delayed Gratification is the world’s first Slow Journalism magazine. It’s a beautiful printed quarterly publication which revisits the events of the previous three months to see what happened after the dust settled and the news agenda moved on. It boasts fascinating long-form journalism from some of the world’s best writers, alongside glorious infographics and photography.

Father’s Day Reminder: It’s time to upgrade his reading list.

If your dad is someone who loves staying informed but is thoroughly exhausted by the 24-hour news cycle, we have the perfect antidote.

Give him the gift of slow journalism with a subscription to Delayed Gratification.

Instead of the frantic, clickbait-driven rush to be first, Delayed Gratification waits three months to let the dust settle. The result? Deep, beautifully designed, and deeply insightful long-form journalism that looks back at world events with perspective and nuance. It’s the best way to consume the news without the overwhelming doomscroll.

Give him a gift that respects his time and his intellect.

We're thrilled to be supporting the Park Theatre’s hit fundraiser 'Whodunnit [Unrehearsed]' this year. It's a unique show, in which each performance sees a different celebrity become the new Sheriff in town – completely unrehearsed and armed only with an earpiece and their wits.

Pictured here is sheriff of the moment, comedian Tim Vine, with his copy of DG61! 

The show runs until 28th June, head to  for full info.

Absolutely love these photographs - the brilliantly observed work of Martin Parr.

Few photographers capture the quirks, humour and peculiarities of everyday British life quite like he does.

A thoroughly enjoyable beach read during this great British heatwave☀️

Find the full interview with the studio manager Charlotte King, of the Martin Parr Foundation, in Issue #61 of Delayed Gratification.

As always, the new issue is filled with our Slow coverage of the big stories from the last quarter.

This issue covers October to December 2025, when a ceasefire was reached in Gaza, antisemitic terror attacks took place in Manchester and Sydney, and a democratic socialist became the new mayor of New York City. Plus, beautiful infographics, photo essays and much more.

It took us 15 years, but we have finally joined the world of podcasting. The new series is called, quite simply, Delayed Gratification, the Slow News Podcast, and you can find it by searching for that title wherever you usually get your podcasts (Spotify and Apple links☝🏻).

Episode one focuses on the news of September 2025, the final month covered by the current issue. It's hosted by Rob and the guests are Emily Hart, who wrote the fascinating issue 60 article about Colombian mercenaries in Ukraine, and James Montague, who wrote an in-depth piece on the aftermath of Israel's bombing of Hamas targets in Qatar.

Episodes two, three and four of the DG podcast will be about October, November and December respectively – and that's the quarter to be covered in issue 61 of Delayed Gratification. We're working hard right now on getting it finished, and it'll be sent to subscribers and shops later in the month. 

We hope you enjoy the pod💥

To ensure you get your hands on a copy – and to support our reader-funded independent, original Slow Journalism (we don't take advertising in DG) – you can subscribe with our handy link in bio.
