Today we turn our editorial gaze back onto our own turf and consider how to cover a subject as diverse and delightful as design in print and online. Are magazines as influential as they used to be and do clicks and online articles pay the bills? We also mull over the effects of the industry on editorial and graphic design with art director Francesco Franchi.

We talk to its founder David Basulto and European editor at large James Taylor-Foster.
