Not newspapers?

Do you consider newspapers as long form? (I certainly never have.)

While there are/were Sunday magazines, I'd generally consider magazines more broadly for deep dives into particular aspects of culture, politics, and hobbies.

It depends on the magazine (and the newspaper), but I'd generally agree with that perspective.

I was more reflecting on newspapers not being mentioned at all as a news source. ABC World News Tonight, This Week, and Frontline are all TV sources, and Time Magazine is a pretty different beast. Back in the day newspapers and radio were pretty significant news sources for people (and radio still is).

I don't know if I'd call newspapers long form, as they certainly have lots of short articles, but I'd say they regularly have "longer form" than Frontline.

Certainly a fair number of people got daily newspapers at one point. Post-uni, I never actually lived especially near a city and never felt the need to subscribe to the (in my case) Boston Globe which wasn't especially relevant to my day-to-day life. (To this day I don't although I do subscribe digitally to the NYT and the Economist.)
