Long Cours

Long Cours is a French quarterly magazine that combines literature with long-form investigative journalism and grand reportage. It was created in 2012 by the Groupe Express-Roularta and is edited by writer and journalist Tristan Savin, a contributor to the magazine Lire. The publication is distributed in newsstands and bookshops in France. The magazine's editorial line is built around in-depth, "long-course" journalism that seeks to highlight subjects rarely covered or neglected by mainstream media. Each issue runs to around two hundred pages and alternates photo essays, unpublished short stories, investigations, graphic narratives and travel notebooks, aiming to show, explain and treat current affairs from an original angle. Its contributors include well-known travelling writers, novelists and reporters such as Jean-Christophe Rufin, Roberto Saviano, Sylvain Tesson, Douglas Kennedy, Olivier Weber, William Boyd, Philippe Djian, Alaa El Aswany, Jim Fergus, Mathias Enard, Jerome Charyn, François Garde, Hubert Prolongeau, Gérard Chaliand, Cédric Gras and Gilles Lapouge. Publication was interrupted in 2014 after seven issues, then resumed in 2016 in partnership with Le Point, with issue number 8 appearing on 7 July 2016. In 2018 the founder announced that the magazine would resume in co-edition with the Humensis group. Alongside the print quarterly, the brand maintains an online presence at revue-longcours.fr, presenting itself as "le magazine du voyage" and offering destination guides, practical advice and responsible-travel content, with articles, sections and a weekly newsletter.
