By New Statesman

The New Statesman’s paid circulation has grown by more than 27 per cent in the past year to 43,230, with a total average circulation (including free distribution) of 47,320 per issue. Accompanied by a significant growth in the size of online audiences, this represents the magazine’s highest readership for more than four decades.

While newspapers, magazines and other subscription services have been impacted by inflation, the New Statesman’s growth shows that high-quality journalism retains a durable appeal. Meanwhile, a continued commitment to developing new writers, innovating in design and developing audio, video and app editions, as well as newsletters, have helped the New Statesman reach new audiences. The New Statesman website now has well over 400,000 registered users and receives more than two million visits per month.
