New Internationalist is a magazine from New Internationalist Publications, a co-operative-run publisher based in Oxford, England. It has editorial and sales offices in Toronto, Canada; Adelaide, Australia; Christchurch, New Zealand; and New York, USA.
It describes itself as "exist[ing] to report on the issues of world poverty and inequality; to focus attention on the unjust relationship between the powerful and powerless worldwide; to debate and campaign for the radical changes necessary to meet the basic needs of all; and to bring to life the people, the ideas and the action in the fight for global justice."[1]
Originally the group only published the New Internationalist magazine, co-sponsored by Oxfam, Christian Aid and the Cadbury and Rowntree Trusts. Today sponsorship is no longer needed, the magazine being completely self-funded through subscriptions and product sales. Besides the income earned from sales of the magazine, the group now produces films, books and other materials for various United Nations and related bodies concerned with world development.
The magazine has existed for over 30 years and currently is the largest left-wing magazine in circulation in the United Kingdom. It has recently won the UTNE Independent Media Award for "Best International Coverage" for the eighth time.[2] It is a workers-run co-op operating on a flat horizontal structure and strict ethical and environmental policies.
