Dispatches is a defunct quarterly political magazine, founded in 2008, by photographer Gary Knight, journalist and author Mort Rosenblum, and pharmaceutical executive Dr. Simba Gill. It ceased publication after five issues.
With its signature plain brown paper cover, its small book-size format, and at almost 200 pages in length, Dispatches did not resemble a typical news magazine. [1] Nor did the magazines' emphasis on printed word, (as opposed to online content,) reflect the general trends in the media industry. [2] Furthermore, Dispatches was distinguished by its use of long-form journalism and photo-essay, to explore a single topic of international relevance in each issue.
Each issue of Dispatches focused on one topic in the fields of international relations and foreign affairs. Topics included "In America", "Beyond Iraq", and "On Russia". Contributors differed with each issue, as they were commissioned based on their experience and expertise in the topic being explored. Contributors included journalists, foreign correspondents, academics, novelists, and photographers. [2] Photography and photo-essays were prominent in the magazine, with approximately 80 pages per issue dedicated to the work of a single photographer documenting a single topic. [3]
By focusing on a single topic per issue, Dispatches attempted to give more depth on a given topic than was commonly found in the media. In its first issue, "In America", travel writer Paul Theroux highlighted the lack of depth in the media's coverage of events such as the Iraq War. He indicated "...what we are still getting - is foreground, no background". [4]

The newspaper has a prominent focus on data journalism and interpretive analysis over original reporting, to both criticism and acclaim.
Photojournalism is journalism that uses images to tell a news story. It usually only refers to still images, but can also refer to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography by having a rigid ethical framework which demands an honest and impartial approach that tells a story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. They must be well-informed and knowledgeable, and are able to deliver news in a creative manner that is both informative and entertaining.
