As you might have noticed, the New Statesman now has a paywall. There’s a good reason for this: the kind of journalism we want to do requires investment. And web display adverts alone aren’t enough to cover those costs.
From now on, every user gets three free visits a month, after which we will ask you to register for a free account. If you’re a keen reader of our articles, then we’ll ask you to take out a digital subscription. It’s also possible to buy a combined sub, with which you’ll receive our weekly print magazine as well.
Or, if you’re an existing print subscriber, you can pay as little as an additional 50p each week to gain access to our unlimited digital content alongside your weekly magazine.
We hope you agree that’s fair – our website is far more than the online version of the print title, with dozens of online-only pieces published every week.
For everyone else, this is your chance to support our award-winning political writers such as Stephen Bush, to allow us to send Anoosh Chakelian and Patrick Maguire around the country to report on “Crumbling Britain”, and to help us cover the issues and personalities shaping the national conversation.
In return for your digital subscription, you will also receive an exclusive weekly newsletter from Stephen Bush, fewer ads, and early access to podcasts and events.
In the seven years I’ve worked at the New Statesman, I’ve watched it grow from a marginalised magazine to a thriving print-digital hybrid. We’ve run ground-breaking journalism, both from Syria, Gaza and on issues closer to home; we’ve had guest editors including Ai Wei Wei and Grayson Perry; and hosted sold-out debates on the future of feminism and the state of the left.
In this era of fake news and rampant populism, there has never been a better time to support liberal, sceptical, independent journalism as well as the progressive values represented by the New Statesman.
We are hugely ambitious about what we can do, even in a tough media climate, but we are only as strong as the support we receive from our readers and subscribers. So, thank you for reading this far, and please get in touch if you have any questions.
You can find all our subscription options here, and register for a free account that will allow you to access to a total four articles each month here.
And if you need any help with subscriptions, or have any queries, you can contact our subscriptions team at: 0207 936 6459 OR email: sbrasher@newstatesman.co.uk.
