About the Author

Delayed Gratification is a quarterly publication that specialises in demystifying the world's biggest news stories in slow retrospection. Every article is supported by beautifully designed and enlightening data-driven infographics.
Rob Orchard, Christian Tate and Marcus Webb are the co-founders of The Slow Journalism Company, publishers of Delayed Gratification, the world's first magazine dedicated to Slow Journalism. Launched in 2011 as an antidote to a kneejerk news cycle that prioritises speed over depth, detail and context, it has gone on to attract media praise and subscribers from around the globe. Each issue returns to the events of the quarter after the dust has settled to tell the stories the rest of the media has missed – or mistold. Leading an award-winning team of international journalists, editors Rob and Marcus conduct on-the-groundreporting, interview experts and crunch through vast data sets to capture illuminating truths on subjects as varied as the prospects of cold fusion and the politics of the Eurovision song contest.

Editorial Reviews

The intersection of data and design yields rich, consideration-worthy results-not to mention offering provocative fodder for discussion and debate. The graphics are colorful, witty, and enhance the data presented.” —Booklist

“This book is one of those you want to leave in that place where you always seem to have time to spare, because every page is browse-able. Just dip in here, tuck in over there, and read any one of the page-or-two entries … There's learning going on here but for sure, whatever you read in this book is fun stuff to know for anyone ages 10 to adult.” —Terri Schlichemeyer, The Bookworm Sez
