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.

Do you have any recommendations for similar services that aggregate quality long form articles?

What made nearly any publication able to pull of long, intricate, articles?
