Back people-powered media

For more than 50 years, New Internationalist has dedicated itself to platforming voices from the majority world, providing a vital alternative to mainstream media. This has been NI’s mission from the start: to bring to life the people, ideas and movements fighting for global justice.

However, the world is changing. Our information sphere is being rebuilt by tech oligarchs and far-right politicians intent on upholding the very power structures we have fought so hard against. In this age of media manipulation, our kind of compassionate and fiercely independent journalism is needed now more than ever.

More than a magazine

New Internationalist was founded in 1973 to give an alternative perspective to the narrow representation of the Majority World in the mainstream media. Since then NI has always been one step ahead, from exposing the Nestlé baby milk scandal in the 1970’s to early warnings about climate breakdown and tech monopolies.

Today our global network of journalists continue to report from places and struggles too often ignored by mainstream media – from Gaza to Congo to Sudan – while amplifying movements fighting for justice around the world.

Reader-owned, co-operatively run and fiercely independent – together we can create the media we want to see in the world.

Don’t let another light go out!
