New Internationalist

New Internationalist tackles today's most challenging global issues, confronts inequality and injustice and reports on positive changes happening around the world. Well-known for writing about topics – such as the failures and injustices of the global economic system – before they reach the wider media, it is an essential read for those who want to explore progressive and alternative approaches. An established leader of independent media since 1973, New Internationalist is written for our readers and funded by them. We have no media baron breathing down our necks or corporate advertisers telling us what to do.

Each edition of New Internationalist is themed around a key global issue, with 6-10 articles focusing on one topic along with fact-sheets, background information and solutions to global problems. Recent themes include the following:
