The title of the magazine refers to the psychological technical term of reward deferral (Engl. Delayed gratification ) reference. The motto of the paper is “last to breaking news” (meaning: “the last to bring you the news”), while the makers hope that they will not produce a disposable medium, but one that will make its surroundings more beautiful and civilized.
history
The founder Rob Orchard and four colleagues form the editorial team of the paper, which was given the working title "The Perfect Magazine" in the project planning. Orchard wants to “reward readers who can withstand the racing heart around the globe”, so escape the temptation of breaking news and Twitter excitement . As an example of the hustle and bustle in the news business, Orchard cites the reports about the fake app Livr in 2014, which media such as the Independent had published in an effort to be the first or among the first.
A special feature and additional source of income are elaborate infographics. With British joke, the booklet contains a cheat sheet on the last page with a brief summary for readers who want to remember it or who have not yet had time to read the issue.
The four annual editions are £ 36 on subscription.
