Long-form journalism

Long-form journalism is a branch of journalism dedicated to longer articles with larger amounts of content.[1] The length of long-form articles is between that of a traditional article and that of a periodical. Long-form articles often take the form of creative nonfiction or narrative journalism.

History

Long-form journalism has grown in popularity over the past several years,[2][3] with blogs and media organizations including BuzzFeed[4] and The New York Times[5] creating or expanding long-form coverage and new companies being founded to capitalize on the new interest.[6]
