“A new magazine? Are you stark-raving mad?”
That was the response of most of my “commercial” mates when I launched The Property Chronicle seven years ago. In some ways they were right; publishing is a tough old business and the traditional subs/advertising model is smashed. The Chronicle is never likely to be the Proprietor’s route to a private jet or fancy yacht, but – without sounding too pretentious or self-important – it really is an absolute privilege to curate something that so many seem to like.
