New InternationalistNew Internationalist Publications is a co-operative-run publisher based in Oxford, England. It has editorial and sales offices in Toronto, Canada; Adelaide, Australia; Christchurch, Aotearoa/New Zealand; and Lewiston, USA. It exists to report on issues of world poverty and inequality; to focus attention on the unjust relationship between the powerful and the powerless in both rich and poor nations; and to debate and campaign for the radical changes necessary if the basic needs of all are to be met. 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 leftwing magazine in circulation in the United Kingdom. It has recently won the UTNE Independent Media Award for 'Best International Coverage' for the seventh time. It is a workers-run co-op operating on a flat horizontal structure and strict ethical and environmental policies. The magazine is also made available freely on the New Internationalist web site.
