Slow Journalism in Spain

Abstract

This paper examines the blossoming of slow media practices in Spain within a context of economic and media crisis. After contextualizing the phenomenon and its antecedents, Jot Down Cultural Magazine is taken as a paradigmatic example of a sustainable journalistic model built on long-form narrative pieces and in-depth reporting. The case study is based on interviews with the magazine's head and staff as well as on an online survey to its collaborators. Its editorial line and collaborative financing system will offer insights into the sustainability of future slow journalism projects.
