Delayed Gratification is a quarterly magazine published in the United Kingdom by The Slow Journalism Company.[1] The magazine is described as an antidote to throwaway media[1] and its slogan is 'last to breaking news'.

The first issue was published in January 2011. The publishers say each issue will feature daily summaries for the quarter covered, plus feature-length articles, cartoons and infographics on the biggest stories of the period.[2] The cover of each issue is to be designed by a different artist. Issue one features the piece "Freedom Of The Press" by Shepard Fairey[2] and the publishers offered the first 200 subscribers to the magazine a poster of this cover.[2] The magazine is edited by Marcus Webb, the International Editor of Time Out and publisher Rob Orchard.[2][3]

Delayed Gratification is being sold through its website www.dgquarterly.com and distributed through independent bookshops.
