Producer's Bootcamp With Archant

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...

For most of human history, people lived in a world without news. The concept simply did not exist.

Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news.

What TV News Could Be

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.


Maybe scary stories drive ratings… or maybe they don’t.
