Overview
Nowy Obywatel ("New Citizen") is a nationwide Polish quarterly magazine covering social and political topics. It is published by the association Stowarzyszenie „Obywatele Obywatelom” (Citizens for Citizens) and has been issued since 2011, continuing a ten-year tradition of the earlier magazine „Obywatel”. Its subtitle is "pismo na rzecz sprawiedliwości społecznej" (a journal for social justice). The editor-in-chief is Remigiusz Okraska. The quarterly publishes reportage, analytical, opinion, biographical and publicistic texts. Its editorial line is closely tied to a programmatic manifesto titled "Nasze zasady" (Our Principles). Distinctive features have included an economic supplement called "Gospodarka Społeczna" (Social Economy, now suspended) and sections such as "Z Polski rodem" (From Poland's Roots) and "Nasze Tradycje" (Our Traditions, suspended at the end of 2012), which popularize the achievements of non-totalitarian egalitarian movements — including democratic left, the cooperative movement and Catholic social teaching — as well as civic, independence and pro-social public policy initiatives. Directly linked to the magazine are the book series "Biblioteka Obywatela" (Citizen's Library), the portal nowyobywatel.pl, the radio programme "Głos Obywatela" (Citizen's Voice) on Radio WNET (currently suspended), and the nationwide recurring event Festiwal Obywatela (Citizen's Festival). The magazine has an Honorary Council (Rada Honorowa) composed of academics, activists and public figures. The website nowyobywatel.pl serves as the magazine's online home, offering news, sections on economy and society, selected texts from the print issues, a classics section, subscription and login options, and links to Patronite, Facebook and Twitter. It also sells the paper edition and e-book editions of individual issues.
