I am really happy with your products and service. In particular "The New Internationalist" is a great resource for our Certificate 1V IN WOMEN'S EDUCATION where we study Global Issues for Women.

Thank you for your wonderful magazine. I look forward to receiving it every month and always find a lot to think about when I read it.

The Independent Press Awards are selected by the editors of Utne Reader magazine to 'honour independent efforts that provide bold, innovative, thought-provoking alternatives to mass media fare.' The New Internationalist magazine won the inaugural 1989 award for International Coverage.
Since then, the magazine has won the award for 'Best International Coverage' another seven times. In the year 2000 the New Internationalist also won the highly valued readers' poll.

Utne Reader - global Independent Press Awards.

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 struggles, projects, and people who are working to build a better planet.

Utne Reader's nomination of NI for Best International Coverage - annual Independent Press Awards, 2010 - an award that New Internationalist has won on eight previous occasions.

From Roberts Radios, the solarDAB is the world's first solar powered DAB radio. Stylish, compact and portable, it has a solar panel integrated in the top of the unit which absorbs direct sunlight in order to power the radio. There is a level indicator on the display screen that shows the power level generated by the solar panel. Under good conditions, there is sufficient power generated to charge the batteries and power the radio simultaneously.

The solarDAB is ideal for use in gardens, conservatories, greenhouses, on suitable windowsills, or away from home while camping, fishing, at the beach, or anywhere that you wish to listen to the radio away from conventional power sources.

Once fully charged, the low power consumption of the solarDAB allows the batteries to power the radio for up to 27 hours without the need to recharge them. The batteries can be recharged either by sunlight or using the supplied mains adaptor if there is not sufficient light available.
