Daily Dispatches

"A fascinating experiment which should help the world understand in breadth and depth the daily concerns of urban Africans."

Richard Dowden, Director, Royal African Society

"An ingenious idea. By creating a website which is for the people and place where reporting takes place, and including a feedback loop, this is a model for the future of journalism. An innovative approach, developed with a clarity of purpose and completeness of vision."

Ed Kashi, VII Photo Agency

"Mike and Brendan both have a voluminous curiosity, and a sensitive and thoughtful approach to their subjects which always brings out surprises in their work. Daily Dispatches looks like it will really unleash their talents, and I think we should all take note of this as an innovative new way of gathering, crafting and reporting stories"

Dominic Nahr, Magnum Photos

"Brendan has a track record of making great imagery and also taking new angles to work that has been presented before. With Daily Dispatches, he has found a way to attach his work to schools in the US. I think this is the first time I’ve seen this, and I’m thinking it could be window into the future of this type of project."
