Great new publishing venture called The Frontier Project.
The Frontier Project Inc. is a Colorado-based publishing and multimedia venture launched in 2010 by a team headed by award-winning magazine journalist A.J. Mangum. The company produces a monthly documentary series on the horsemen, artists and craftsmen defining the contemporary North American cowboy culture.
From the December 2010 press release announcing the launch:
“I saw a need for a new approach to journalism about the real West, an approach not driven by marketing or advertising, but by the need to share the stories of influential westerners, as well as the West’s unsung heroes and heroines,” Mangum says. “The Frontier Project will use an ‘up close and personal’ storytelling approach that puts its subjects front and center and allows them to tell their stories in their own words. Viewers can expect no fluff, no fads, no gimmicks, no bull.”
