New Statesman (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The New Statesman is a British left-wing political magazine published weekly in London. Founded in 1913, and connected with leading members of the Fabian Society, the magazine reached a circulation peak in the late 1960s. In the 29 May 2006 issue, then-editor John Kampfner stated that the New Statesman remained "true to its heritage of radical politics." The magazine is committed to "development, human rights and the environment, global issues the mainstream press often ignores." The longest serving editor was Kingsley Martin (1930-60). The current editor is Jason Cowley, who assumed the post at the end of September 2008. The magazine is sometimes affectionately referred to as "The Staggers," in reference to its frequent crises in funding, ownership and circulation.
