New Statesman statement on PSC

In November, the New Statesman removed from its website a paid-for post funded by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC).

This was not related to the contents of the post – which can be read here, along with an earlier post – but was part of a larger conversation within the organisation about guidelines around advertorial and the presentation of advertiser-written content. We removed the post without explanation to the PSC, which was discourteous.
