The Slow Journalism. Slow Journalism as a genre is about the style and form in which the story is told. Slow Journalism has emerged in recent years to enact a critique of the limitations and dangers of the speed of much mainstream contemporary journalistic practice.
There have been types of journalism produced and consumed slowly for centuries of course. Sometimes journalists need a reminder that when speed is allowed to take the lead it comes at the cost of analysis of context of complexity. Slow journalism is a critical theory encouraging journalists working in all fields and on all timescales to be mindful of the way journalism is changing.
The worlds first ever slow journalism conference was held during the last week of June this year at the University of Oregon organised by Peter Laufer the James Wallace Chair in Journalism at the universitys Oregon School of Journalism.
