Wij bij De Buitenlandredactie zijn grote fan van slow journalism en longform-journalistiek. Het is een manier om mooie buitenlandverhalen te vertellen die misschien te lang en net iets te weinig op de actualiteit zitten voor traditionele media, maar wel een inzicht geven die korte nieuwsberichten missen.
Voor de laatste keer de must-reads op zaterdag in deze vorm. Vanaf volgende week wordt deze rubriek helemaal vernieuwd en nog actueler!
