Longform was a respected service and I wish them the best focusing on the podcast.
My use of Longform declined as long, intricate articles became something nearly any publication could pull off, but I think that Longform deserves some credit for bringing about that change in journalism.
There are new forms of journalism emerging and new curators will appear to popularize them.

- 1123581321 5y agoMultiple factors, but I think the biggest are the format becoming more imitable over time, better baseline design tools and CMSes for multi-section content, and automation/semi-automation of short form articles to make room to focus on big hits. There is also some survivorship bias as search engine improvements and changed tastes through sharing have diminished or forced sale of content mills.
