چکیده
سرعت بخش مهمی از ماهیت روزنامه‌نگاری امروز است و در دوره‌ای که همین سرعت اثرات مخربی روی روند تولید اخبار داشته، نوع جدیدی از روزنامه‌نگاری، رویکرد تازه‌ای به تولید اخبار و اطلاعات دارد. این گفتمان تازه، مخالفِ گفتمان سرعت‌محور حاکم است و برخی روزنامه‌نگاران، سردبیران و ناشران و دست‌اندرکاران رسانه‌ای از آن حمایت می‌کنند. آنها حامی «روزنامه‌نگاری آهسته» هستند.
در عرصه پژوهش‌های دانشگاهی در زمینه روزنامه‌نگاری آهسته کارهای معدودی انجام شده است. مقاله حاضر هم هرچند نتوانسته تعریف جامع و مانعی از این شیوه روزنامه‌نگاری ارائه کند، ولی شاخصه‌های کلیدی آن را برشمرده است. همچنین در این مقاله می‌بینیم که در بلاگ‌ها، پایگاه‌های اینترنتی، فروم‌های عمومی و ادبیات دانشگاهیان درباره روزنامه‌نگاری آهسته چه گفته‌اند. سپس سراغ نمونه‌هایی می‌رویم که ادعای پیش گرفتن روزنامه‌نگاری آهسته دارند. (البته به‌خاطر کمبود جا، بیشتر سراغِ ناشران سردبیران و روزنامه‌نگارانی رفته‌ایم که شیوه کارشان را روزنامه‌نگاری آهسته توصیف کرده‌اند.)
این را هم بگویم که این مقاله ادعای پیشگویی درباره روزنامه‌نگاری در فضای پرسرعت و پر از اطلاعات و اخبار را ندارد؛ چون با وجود فضای رسانه‌ای و اشباع‌شده از اخبار و همچنین جَوی که در آن ساختارهای سرمایه‌دارانه در حال تازیدن هستند، گفتن از اینکه روزنامه‌نگاری آهسته می‌تواند با جوِ حاکم رقابت کند، کاری عبث است. ولی با توجه به شکل‌گرفتن فضایی انتقادی و جدید در برخی از رسانه‌های مستقل می‌توان به شکل‌گیری و ادامه حیات روزنامه‌نگاری آهسته امیدوار بود.
