After years of predictions from pundits that the migration of media to the Web and mobile devices would mean shorter and shallower stories aimed at a juvenilized readership incapable of sustained attention, I’m delighted to report that we’re in a renaissance of long-form writing.
专家们多年来预测媒体向网络和移动设备的迁移将意味着针对无法持续关注的青少年读者的更短、更浅的故事，我很高兴地报告说，我们正处于长篇写作的复兴之中。
This has been made possible, in part, by insightful curators like Maria Popova (@brainpicker) and Mark Armstrong (@longreads), who point their readers to the best of the best, daily, on Twitter.
这在一定程度上得益于玛丽亚·波波娃 (@brainpicker) 和马克·阿姆斯特朗 (@longreads) 等富有洞察力的策展人，他们每天在 Twitter 上向读者推荐最好的作品。
Now what’s required are ways for freelancers and bloggers to earn the money they need to support this level of in-depth reporting and discursive exploration.
现在需要的是自由职业者和博客作者赚取支持这种深度报告和话语探索水平所需的资金的方法。
