New Statesman editor-in-chief Jason Cowley has announced his intention to step down at the end of the year. He will continue to write for the New Statesman as a columnist and essayist.
Cowley has been editor of the New Statesman since autumn 2008 and successfully led its transformation from a weekly political and cultural magazine to a multimedia brand. The New Statesman today has a paywalled website and a raft of award-winning podcasts, newsletters and video journalism strands in addition to the flagship weekly magazine.
