It also directly challenges the current fetish of new media projects to be fast furious and superficial and unseats the assumption that online journalism can't be in-depth. Now to educate audiences and readers so they can articulate that they want and should demand "organic, sustainably grown, journalism instead of McDonald's media!"

Excellent concept, even if not yet tightly defined. Like John Newton, I'm a freelancer facing a mountain of debt, so I have to take whatever writing jobs I can get, and turn them in on the client's deadline, not my own. Still, the concept deserves a lot more airing; hopefully it will take root. I’d never heard of slow journalism before this. Excellent concept, even if not yet tightly defined.

It's great to see this discussion. I'm the person who wrote the 2007 article for Prospect, with the term "Slow Journalism". A former journalist myself, I now teach nonfiction writing at Roehampton University, in London. Just thought you'd all be interested to know that the kind of issues you raise here are often discussed under the heading of "literary journalism". There is an international association for the study of literary journalism, which includes practitioners and educators: you can check it out at: http://www.ialjs.org Hi everyone!

But I'm a freelancer. i have a couple of kids a mortgage and I do like to eat. Who pays for this Slow Journalism? So often I'm confronted with stories I'd love to do and I just can't because,as a freelancer, I'm not paid to fossick. I'm paid to produce "Time is the greatest luxury et cetera"). On the other hand, Brian Storm's suggestion that if news organisations gave up on producing 'day-to-day perishable content' and offered in-depth investigative journalism is an idea I've been thinking about for some time. I read The Guardian Weekly. Its size, its content and its scope supplies me with most of the news I need in an attractive and useable package - surely the days of the broadsheet have to be numbered? The rest local - could be done by the parish pump papers which, here in Sydney, are so appalling (with the exception of a few of the giveaways) they could only get better. But our dailies just don't get it, and they shrink and shrink and are fast running out of puff. I do not see a lot of creative thinking coming out of either the Fairfax or News Ltd camps.

They could also do away with all the voilent stories if they could spend a bit more time on the good content.
