Stuff in that genre is also called Acid Jazz or Downtempo which makes searching for it a bit hard!

This is basically true for all forms of journalism right now, unless you're aligned with the ownership-approved goals of one of the big papers like NYT. bsky.app/profile/beij...
this is a structural problem that threatens the entire industry: the financial incentives lean toward Takes but Takes ultimately depend on a bedrock of reporting that there is almost no working model for at this point.
will add that for a lot of people it just makes considerably more financial sense to do Takes than reporting - if I could actually make a good living out of doing features etc you'd never see me write a column again, genuinely, but the industry just favours opinions now so ¯\(ツ)/¯
