Jonathan Shainin is a journalist and former editor of the Guardian long read. For several years, he was at The New Yorker as a staff writer and fact-checker.[1] Between 2010 and 2013, he acted as senior editor at The Caravan in Delhi before returning to The New Yorker to take up a position as news editor.[2][3] Shainin was the editor of the Long Read from its inception in 2014.[4][5] As editor of the Long Read at The Guardian, Shainin expanded the section and helped to bring back the long form article into a large British newspaper.[6][7] Shainin has said that 'longform stories tend to defy the theory of short attention spans online.'[8]

In 2002, Shainin co-authored The Other Israel: Voices of Refusal and Dissent, with Roane Carey and Tom Segev. It was published by The New Press.[9][10]
