Rethink Dispatches
Posted in Inspiring Work on May 22nd, 2008 by Daniel“dispatches aims to help meet a desperate need in a 21st-century world that can barely keep up with itself. At the pace we all function, there are no solutions, only promising directions. No one power can dominate the rest, nor can any single philosophy prevail over others. As resources rapidly dwindle, human ability to wreak havoc develops at a harrowing pace. In the face of this, nations, societies, and individuals need to act together based on a common understanding and mutual respect.”
Dispatches is a new magazine by VII photographer Gary Knight, reporter Mort Rosenblum and Simba Gill a pharmaceutical executive. Every issue features political essays, and one major photo essay - up to 80 pages long. There is also a section called “On Photography” written by leading figures of the photo industry.
The current issue is called “In America”. In a reminiscence to Robert Frank, they sent Antonin Kratochvil across the US for a month. The next issue will be on Iraq with a photo essay by Yuri Kozyrev, who spent the last five years covering the war.
And, nope, it’s not an online magazine, but it’s available by subscription internationally.
