Slow journalism is a news subculture borne out of the frustration at the quality of journalism from the mainstream press. A continuation from the larger slow movement, slow journalism shares the same values as other slow-movement subsets in its efforts to produce a good, clean, and fair product. The principles of slow journalism can be defined by the content, the working processes, or the specific relationships with its audience, all of which follow the core mindset of social responsibility of the outlet, less so on profit, which sets it apart from other forms of journalism. At the same time slow journalism shares similarities and has been associated with such forms of journalism like long-form journalism, literary journalism, narrative journalism, and new journalism. Researchers have noted, that the concept is vague and not easily defineable. Specialist titles have emerged around the world and proclaim to be antidotes to a mainstream media that is "filled to the brim with reprinted press releases, kneejerk punditry, advertorial nonsense and 'churnalism'". Instead, slow journalism tends to focus on long reports and in-depth investigations.
