A lot of news is now delivered through social media, which means that a lot of online content and some of the best newspaper articles in actual newspapers go unread.
‘The Long Good Read’ is a newspaper curated by The Guardian and The Newspaper Club, which is a compilation of the best newspaper articles that people may have missed. The Long Good Read began as an online publication but now its weekly printed editions revive long reads and printed newspapers simultaneously.
As much as this paper seems like it is lo-tech, the newspaper is actually put together by algorithms that select and lay out news papers on its pages. The project is a great read for a lazy Sunday morning, especially since you know you’ll be getting the best content.
