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...

TV News’ Original Sin

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
