Gary Knight's new magazine, Dispatches

I wanted to let everyone know about a new quarterly current affairs journal, called Dispatches, that we are launching.
Edited by Gary Knight of VII and Mort Rosenblum, Dispatches focuses on one critical global topic per issue. The first one is titled “In America,” and our second issue will be “Beyond Iraq.”
Of special interest to the photography world is that we are publishing one photo essay of up to 40 images across 80 pages by one photographer on a single topic. For “In America” we commissioned Antonin Kratochvil of VII to travel across the US for a month; for the second issue, we are working with Yuri Kozyrev of NOOR, who has spent the last 5 years covering Iraq.
If you check our website, you’ll find an On Photography section, where we will publish essays by leading industry figures. We’ve already uploaded an essay by Stephen Mayes on what we can learn from American culture about photojournalism for the next generation, as well as Tim Hetherington’s acceptance speech for the World Press Photo award. There’s also a multimedia piece by Antonin that explores his trip across the US.
Contributors for “In America” also include Paul Theroux, John Kifner, Samantha Power, Muzamil Jaleel, and Gerald Scarfe.
