The Slow Journalism magazine

www.slow-journalism.com/subscribe 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.

Slow News is Good News! ➡️

This month we published our 60th issue, and with it comes our 15th anniversary of making Delayed Gratification magazine. We'll be celebrating the only way we know how - slowly - over the coming weeks, with pop-ups like these posters currently adorning newsagents around London.

Pictured here is the great Good News on Berwick St, a Soho stronghold of print publications.

Picture this: you, a quiet moment over the Christmas break, and Delayed Gratification Issue #60 — the perfect excuse to slow down and savour the stories worth reading.

Embrace the long-view this season and dive into pieces on the Lionesses’ Euros triumph, the end of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, the stark journey of thousands of Colombians who ended up on Ukraine’s front line, a deep look at how shoplifting swallowed the British high street, the uplifting tale of a centenarian marathon-runner, France's political crisis and a stunning piece of graphic journalism about the discovery of art looted by the N***s and a powerful view from Nagorno Karabakh.

Treat yourself (or someone who loves real journalism) to a subscription — and enjoy 15% off with code JOLLY15.

A little gift of calm in a noisy world. 🎄✨
