New Left Media July 2024

A rare occurrence! Enough new media projects have infiltrated my feed to allow for two consecutive monthly posts. Amazing. With the new government in place and with it a new balance of political forces, might the change of scene stimulate new people to try their hand at commentary/analysis? If it does, this is guaranteed coverage here.

1. New Realist (Blog) (Twitter)

2. Peeps (YouTube Channel)

3. Redgauntlet (Podcast)

4. The Partyist (Blog) (Twitter)

Chatting to Bryn of the Labour Left Podcast at the Beyond the Fragments at 45 conference, we both agreed it was vitally important for existing left media infrastructure to platform new voices as they come through. Especially if the established figures/projects have a large following. We need to resist the proprietary attitudes forced on us by the micro celebrity of social media. So if you know of any new(ish) blogs, podcasts, channels, Facebook pages, resources, spin offs of existing projects, campaign websites or whatever that haven't featured before then drop me a line via the comments, email, Facebook, or Twitter. Please note I'm looking for new media that has started within the last 12 months, give or take. The round up appears hereabouts when there are enough new entrants to justify a post!

New Left Media October 2023

I cannot remember the last time the blog last saw a round up of new left media.

New Left Media September 2022

The number of new left media start ups appear to have died down lately. I hope it's because the opportunities for poltiical activity have opened up and not that people are having to devote more time to work to meet the cost of living.
