New Statesman: announcing our new bloggers

Glosswitch, Martin Robbins, Bim Adewunmi, Ryan Gilbey and Kate Mossman join the "blogging powerhouse".

By Helen Lewis

Five new bloggers today join the New Statesman team, writing about parenting, pop culture, film, music and science. Meet the newest additions to our “blogging powerhouse” (seriously, that’s what we called it last time we had newbies).

Glosswitch

A mother of two, and writer of the Glosswatch blog, she describes herself as a “humourless feminist in mummy blogger clothing”. In her previous posts for the NS, she has dared to defend “yummy mummies” and told off Benedict Cumberbatch. She tweets @glosswitch

Martin Robbins

Author of the Guardian website’s Lay Scientist blog, Martin will be writing for the NS about skepticism (and scepticism), the media and sexuality. His posts might sometimes be NSFW, but will always be both entertaining and factual. He tweets @mjrobbins

Bim Adewunmi

Bim blogs at Yoruba Girl Dancing and The Flick, and she will be writing a weekly column on pop culture and telly. She tweets @bimadew

Ryan Gilbey

The New Statesman magazine’s film critic now has his own dedicated blog on the site (he’s a StumbleUpon crowd favourite). Ryan blogs about films with authority, puns and love.

Kate Mossman

The New Statesman magazine’s pop critic will be writing an extra weekly piece for the website on “pop” music (whatever that means these days). She recently wrote about the 30th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which you can read here.
