An Awl Programming Note

by The Awl

Do not adjust your feeds; they are working correctly. Rather than let pieces trickle out over the next couple of days while we sit by a pool or alone on a mountaintop and try to pretend that our lives, like the summer, are not rapidly collapsing into a single point of nothingness, we are trying an experiment in which we publish all of the day’s stories at once. If it proves successful, we may consider an entirely new form of publishing, in which we bundle an entire day’s worth of news and commentary into a single package that we deliver to your doorstep. It has never been done before. We’re not sure what we are going to call it, but the sound of “hyperlapse publishing” has been bouncing around the office, and it has a nice ring to it.
