The man who launched a dozen magazines

Thursday night was our weekly Cotton's Bar drinks get-together. One of  our new visitors was a man who launched twelve magazines.

Twelve magazines!

And in not a single case did a journalist make the move to publisher. I only know one man who did -- Graham Earnshaw, formerly of Reuters, who's now the successful publisher of the China Economic Review.

I need to talk to him again about how he did it.

Does anyone else know of any journalists who have made a transition to publisher?

The man who started the twelve magazines is now running an Internet-based business teleivion program in Japan and is in the process of expanding it to China and other Asian countries.

There's a lot of that kind of thing going on over here -- new channels, new publications, new everything spring up all around.

Signing off in Shanghai,

Maria
