By a quirk of their new subscription system I have been sent an extra issue of Delayed Gratification #12, and – with the blessing of the magazine's staff – I'm offering it to you, reader: first come, first served (contact me via the Comments box below).
It's a wonderful magazine, great to look at , excellent in concept – the concept being that of 'Slow Journalism'. Each quarterly Delayed Gratification revisits the news stories of three months ago, those we've perhaps forgotten or which seem somewhat different when the writer applies the 'long view' to them. It's the perfect antidote to the immediacy and rapid obsolecence of most other media. Its other great selling point is its look. With a beautiful, original, cover, each issue also features terrific infographics which illustrate aspects of social, political, sporting and cultural life (look at these examples). It even arrives in the post in a neat custom card envelope. My spare could be yours…
Hi John, I would love to receive a copy of the magazine.
With best wishes, A
You got it Adrian – just email me your postal address: john[at]johndavies.org
