The Cambridge Globalist (CG) is a news and culture magazine written and produced by students at the University of Cambridge,[1] publishing coverage of politics, culture,[2] economics,[3][4] science and technology.[5] It is a member of the ‘Global21’, an international network of independent publications with similar remits.[6]
Articles are published on a rolling basis on the Cambridge Globalist website.[7] Each term a selection is published in a magazine-style print edition, distributed free to Cambridge’s students, faculties, libraries and coffee shops.[8]
Recent articles have featured interviews with political commentators, NATO officials and the Brazilian Ambassador to the UK;[9][10] research reports from trips to Brazil, Israel, Uruguay, Dubai and other destinations;[11][12][13][14] and an investigation into the impact of the University of Cambridge's failure to recognise qualifications awarded by the Bahá'í Institute for Higher Education.[15]
History
The Cambridge Globalist, subtitled 'An Undergraduate International Affairs Magazine', existed as an offshoot of the student newspaper Varsity for several years in the noughties[16][17] and was in existence until 2007. At one point it had a print run of 11,000 and featured advertisers including the Financial Times.[18]
The Cambridge Globalist was refounded by Lucy Wark, Alasdair Phillips-Robins and Ravi Solanki in 2013.[19] The new publication bears limited resemblance to its previous iteration.
Other Activities
At print edition launches and other events the Cambridge Globalist hosts discussions on issues related to journalism and international affairs. Speakers have included UK Ambassador to Oman and Kuwait Stuart Laing, independent policy advisor Simon Anholt, BBC journalist Lisette Johnston,[20] [21] technology expert Professor John Naughton, poet Dan O'Brien,[22] [23] writer and futurologist Yorick Blumenfeld (who subsequently offered an article for publication on the Cambridge Globalist website[24]) and double Pulitzer prize winning war reporter John Fisher Burns, who described the magazine as a 'terrific accomplishment'.[25][26]
The Cambridge Globalist's radio show, ‘The Globalist Out Loud’ has a slot on Cam FM.[27]
