3 The New European is the newspaper giving a voice to those from across the political spectrum with a liberal, international outlook. It began life as a ‘pop-up publication’ set up in response to the 2016 referendum to represent those dismayed by the result. But it has since grown far beyond the single issue of Brexit to become an established weekly newspaper – and website and podcast – covering British and European politics, as well as the arts, popular culture, the environment, science, literature and more. Our readers are passionately engaged and broad-minded, with a particular interest in European affairs, as well as travel, food and culture. We know this from both the feedback we get in our mailbag, and the sense of loyalty and attachment obvious across social media. The New European arrived in the market place with a short life expectancy. Now, in our fourth year, this newspaper has proved itself a winner and a stayer – evolving from that single-issue paper into an essential broad, liberal, and positive celebration of the UK and of Europe. We are on a wonderful journey. Join us! Jasper Copping, Editor
