Mort Rosenblum and Gary Knight (from VII) have unveiled a new magazine - dispatches. The magazine’s financed by Dr. Simba Gill, an entrepreneur, scientist and businessman in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. And it’s not one of those pdf magazines that you get free online.
dispatches took root on an olive farm in Provence, flourished on a Kashmiri houseboat, and was toasted into reality with champagne at the East Gate of Angkor Wat. Its founders are a photographer who believes his lens should not filter out humanity, a reporter who feels real news can only be seen from up close in its historical perspective, and a pharmaceutical executive who thinks entrepreneurs should do more than make money.
The first issue focuses on America and features photos by Antonin Kratochvil (I’m a fanboy!). In a rare mix of great writing and photography, dispatches looks too enticing to just glance over at the newsstand. If anyone wishes to surprise me with an international subscription, I promise not to tell myself!
Get tempted over at their site.
