Listen to the latest episode of the Sunday Long Read - with Ben Smith

October 14, 2018 - Fresh off his guest-editing turn, BuzzFeed News editor-in-chief Ben Smith chatted with Don about how the term "Ben Smith-ing" came into being, why he moved from Politico to BuzzFeed, and the thought process behind publishing the controversial Trump-Russia dossier. They also discussed the journalism industry more broadly, from the blogging heyday to the current environment. "I read a lot of long articles but it’s in spite of the fact they’re long," Ben says.

" 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. The best, longform journalism across a variety of subjects curated by a man who knows a little something about really good reporting: Don Van Natta Jr. The Sunday Long Read not only broadens my horizons but also makes me feel good about the future of journalism. Seeing so many great stories in one place is an affirmation of the power and potential that reporting still retains. "
