Well Told - we ❤︎ longform

Thank you @james_harkin for some deep reporting about Folkestone. ⁦⁦@welltold⁩ theguardian.com/world/2022/feb…

Well this is just about ideal. Two of @welltold’s favourite UK non-fiction writers chatting. Welcome, Logroll podcast. @andrewhankinson @edcaesar

@andrewhankinson @wstorr Loved @wstorr's The Science of Storytelling. Also enjoyed his talk at @welltold festival a couple of years back.

Great news, @welltold !

Totally agree @welltold -- how good is #WindOfChange? Trying to savour it but racing through the eps. @praddenkeefe

@NicolaKelly Thank you Nicola!

The utterly brilliant @welltold, a platform for longform writers and doc makers, now has its very own online bookshop, offering the best in non-fiction. thewelltoldbookshop.com

Let's hear it for @praddenkeefe, a man whose work is making lockdown hours worthwhile. #longform #narratives #narrativepodcasts #welltold welltold.org/the-true-stori…

Congratulations and good luck to @ManveenRana - one of our earliest supporters - for her new podcast for @thetimes. It’s a classy listen, and it’s only Day One. overcast.fm/+Yeyj88FlY

Which is a drop-intro kind of a way to say that we have decided to postpone this week's Scrollfest. Ticketholders are of course welcome to refunds.

We've got a NEW DATE for Scrollfest - it's Thursday 23 April for a wonderful evening of live journalism - true stories told by excellent storytellers in front of a live audience. What's not to like?

Just a week to go until this, longform fans!

Scrollfest looks great too - not just longform but *live* longform twitter.com/welltold/statu…

This is fascinating, by @stokel - why longform journalism is good for publishers welltold.org/longforms-long…

Readers like long-form journalism but GQ is one of the few UK media organisations funding it, finds YouTubers author @stokel welltold.org/longforms-long…

I got to interview some of the UK's best editors about the reputational benefits of longform journalism for this piece for @welltold welltold.org/longforms-long…

True, true

And @jessbrammar tells us: “Every outlet is fighting more than ever to hold people’s attention. And the key to that has to be in the quality of the storytelling.”

* It also drives loyalty among readers - and these are valuable. In one test, loyal readers made up 11% of sites’ audiences, but generated more than half their revenue.

Journalists: show your editors this. Our new report into the long-term benefits of #longform welltold.org/longforms-long…
