dispatches, a breakthrough quarterly edited by journalist-author Mort Rosenblum and acclaimed photographer Gary Knight, premieres in May 2008.

Book-sized with a bold, cutting-edge layout, dispatches is meant for those who savour the printed word and the timeless photo, from foreign-affairs specialists to students who want more than fleeting images on a computer screen — in short, anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of what shapes world events.

It aims to help fill a growing void in contemporary news media that all too often is stripped of subtlety and substance. A close-to-the-news journal, it takes a hard look at vital issues facing an imperilled world, reaching beyond what and who to the more crucial why and what can be done?

The premier issue, In America, explores the United States from the inside out and the outside in. Author Paul Theroux frames the subject with an essay, “Mind Blindness and the Decline of Hitchhiking.” In “Neckties and Turbans,” fabled New York Times correspondent John Kifner shows how Americans
ignore history to their peril. Muzamil Jaleel, a wry and wise Kashmiri reporter, tours the country as a Sufi Muslim with questions to ask. Samantha Power offers thoughts on American “exemptionism.” Antonin Kratochvil takes his critical eye from coast to coast, “In God’s Country.“ Gerald Scarfe, noted London
Sunday Times political cartoonist for 40 years, contributes this issue’s cartoon.

Each issue of dispatches focuses on one critical subject — the next is Beyond Iraq — to add human dimension, historical continuum, and worldwide context that are so often lost because of time pressures, lack of space, or commercial influences. Contributors are outstanding journalists, photographers, authors and experts.
