" Sundays used to be for sitting on the couch reading the paper. That was before the Internet—and before I had kids. Now my Sunday reading habit begins (and sometimes ends) with The Sunday Long Read.

Seeing so many great stories in one place is an affirmation of the power and potential that reporting still retains. "
