'The New Republic' Loves Long Reads

Owner Chris Hughes steps up involvement at magazine

The New Republic has introduced a new feature on its site, a small addition but one that underscores Chris Hughes’ stated interest in long-form journalism and the active role he’ll be playing at the magazine. The section, TNR Reader, is a simple compilation of a few staff-chosen long reads from around the Web, less an aggregator than a collection of links.

Hughes, the Facebook co-founder who bought TNR in March and who took the title of editor in chief as well as publisher, said he came up with the idea for TNR Reader when he noticed staffers were recommending links to each other anyway.
