The Spokesman is a British left-wing quarterly magazine. The magazine was founded in 1970 by the Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell,[1] and was edited for 40 years by the British left-wing MEP Ken Coates, who died in 2010.[2] After Coates' death, The Independent wrote that the journal was "still flourishing".[3] The current editor is Tony Simpson.[4]
It is published in Nottingham by the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation.[4] The Spokesman features independent journalism on peace and nuclear disarmament, human rights and civil liberties, and contemporary politics.[5]
Contributors have included leading Western writers, journalists and intellectuals such as Robert Fisk, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, John le Carré, Trevor Griffiths, Stuart Holland and Kurt Vonnegut.[6]
