The Sprawl’s editorial approach is rooted in slow journalism, a model emphasizing thoughtful, deeply researched stories rather than continuous breaking news coverage. The organization focuses on a small number of stories at a time, often examining complex local topics such as city planning, housing, transportation, governance, and public policy. They also include comics, zines, and letterpress printing.
