Guardian Weekly is a new magazine from the Guardian. Inside you’ll find quality, independent journalism including opinion, insight, culture and more – all curated to bring you a progressive and trustworthy look at a week in the life of the world.
The history of Guardian Weekly
Guardian Weekly was first published as a newspaper almost 100 years ago. In the aftermath of the first world war, it was invaluable to liberal Germany. With its progressive outlook, Guardian Weekly was seen as a bastion of free ideas.
Likewise, after the second world war, the thirst among Germans for news untainted by fascist ideology was immense. Guardian Weekly could not meet the demand from its Manchester presses, so it flew out the matrices from which the paper was printed to the Hamburg offices of Die Zeit. The circulation of this special German edition reached an astonishing 100,000.
While the times may have changed since then, the need for a progressive and independent perspective has not. In its beautiful new magazine format, Guardian Weekly will continue to uphold balanced values – and provide an in-depth, international view for years to come.
