The New Statesman has embarked on a groundbreaking collaboration with the weekly US magazine The New Republic. From this week, both magazines will be sharing some of each other’s best content with their own audiences, ensuring that our great mix of commentary, analysis and cultural criticism is read on both sides of the Atlantic.
The tie-up marks a unique partnership between two magazines with a shared history and purpose: to bring the best progressive thought, debate and reporting to as wide an audience as possible.
The New Statesman was founded in 1913, and the New Republic a year later. A century on, both are now in a strong position in both print and online. In 2012, the New Republic was bought by Chris Hughes, co-founder of Facebook, who rejuvenated the title and relaunched an innovative website; meanwhile, the New Statesman has grown both its print subscription figures and its website traffic (by 70 per cent) in the last year.
Every week, we’ll be bringing you three pieces from the New Republic – and vice versa. We hope you enjoy reading even more thought-provoking, intelligent writing.
“Our relationship with the New Statesman is a perfect fit – its sensibility, readership, topical focus, and belief in the importance of both politics and culture all echo that of The New Republic,” said Frank Foer, editor of The New Republic.
Helen Lewis, deputy editor of New Statesman, added: “The New Statesman and New Republic were founded within a year of each another, and have a shared mission – to bring thought-provoking, intelligent political and cultural writing to the widest possible audience. Here’s to a new Special Relationship!”
