Delayed Gratification Issue 63

Taking a look back at recent news headlines, both serious and more light-hearted, Delayed Gratification is a quarterly magazine that celebrates slow journalism.

What grabbed us about this issue…

Issue 63 follows events from April to June 2026. Following the resignation of Kier Starmer in June, we enjoyed an infographic following the approval ratings of Prime Ministers across the last decade. If you've been swept up by the running craze, you might like this issue's coverage of the London Marathon and Sebastian Sawe's record-breaking time. There's also a tribute for the late artist David Hockney, who designed the cover for Issue 58.

Who’s Delayed Gratification for?

Positioning itself as the ‘antidote to the doomscroll’, Delayed Gratification is one to reach for when you want to catch up on the news without feeling overwhelmed. One thing we enjoy is how it balances more serious stories with lighter moments. It adds depth, context and perspective to the past quarter, with articles accompanied by photography and colourful graphics. It’s the kind of magazine you pick up when you’ve got a bit of free time and want to slow things down.
