Lisa and I are back in the UK with BFBS, the British Forces Broadcasting Services, the TV and radio arm of the British army, navy and air force.

We're training everyone here to be completely video literate, and all on their iPhones, including editing.  The BFBS has fantastic access, needless to say, to great stories, and a massive audience worldwide.

This morning, I went out early to buy my copy of the weekend FT — a great newspaper, by the way. I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it.
