People these days almost crave information that helps them to make sense of the world, and the New Internationalist magazine does that brilliantly.

John Pilger - journalist and film-maker

I do enjoy your magazine - it provides a good balance to a lot of the right-wing / conservative and pro-big-business-dominated media.

Grant K - long-term New Internationalist subscriber.

New Internationalist weighs the world on the scales of justice. By tapping into a vast global network of activists, the compassionately written and tightly edited magazine breathes life into the stories of people who are working to build a better planet.

Utne Reader - nominations for the 2011 award for Best International Coverage

If you would like to know something about what's actually going on, rather than what people would like you to think was going on, then read the New Internationalist.
