Description

Satirical magazine, Punch is attempting to update its image and boost sales. Sweeping moves at the 147 year -old magazine have seen three editors leave, sales slump, and staff morale plummet. But insiders say things are changing for the better. Cartoon editor Michael Heath believes the magazine is moving in the right direction, whilst acting editor Stanley Reynolds thinks the magazine needs to become more London-orientated. Senior editor Michael Bywater describes what he think the problems are, as does Sheridan Morley. Oni Bhattacharya reports.
