Long form reading at VQR blog

The VQR asks whether readers will read long form literary journalism online by posting a 16,000+ word piece on the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks to its blog. The piece, written by Jason Motlagh, is available in four parts: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4.

As much as this is a milestone for VQR’s reporting, it is also a test. Will readers embrace something of this length online? Will compelling life-and-death scenarios told in spare, gripping prose be enough to bring new readers to our website—and keep them coming back for subsequent installments?
