Although we live in New York, (at least half the time), we are subscribers to a fantastic magazine called Cotswold Life.

It is published in the UK (where the Cotswolds are!) by a publishing company called Archant.

Archant actually publishes 50 magazines and 80 newspapers across the UK.  

Reading the amazing articles in Cotswold Life every month, and more than that, seeing the beautiful still photos, I thought that they could also make stunning video. So I wrote to the publisher, and now, here we are, at their headquarters in Norwich, England, running a series of bootcamps.

We think the combination of Archant content and great video is natural. Today is the first day. They are just cutting the carrots, but the potential here is pretty limitless.  

Stand by for more...

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. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
