Launched in 2003, The New Editor was the first product of its kind – an unashamedly high-quality news magazine targeting the ethnic professional market.
With its editorial mix of world news and insightful commentary on
politics, business, and international and domestic affairs from top
journalists around the globe, The New Editor has created a new
benchmark for ethnic publications. The New Editor profiles the
community’s leading businessmen and women, whose trials, tribulations
and triumphs are powerful examples for the black community.
The New Editor’s role is that of polemicist. Through intelligent and
informed debate, the magazine makes its readers think about the world
at large and their role within it. This is often done through humour,
especially with the help of our world-renowned illustrator, who finds
amusement in even the most serious of issues.
Another remarkable element of The New Editor is that it is a free
publication disseminated through Pride Media’s extensive distribution
chain, which has been built up over 15 years. This allows The New
Editor to be in the enviable position
of knowing exactly who its readers are, which is perfect for specific targeting
within the community.
More than 45,000 copies of The New Editor are distributed to members of over
60 ethnic-minority corporate, professional, social, union and university associations.
The typical New Editor reader is a professional who works within the
corporate or public sector. They are ambitious and optimistic about
their careers and use their high disposable income to enjoy the
luxuries that professional success brings. They form the perfect target
market for recruitment campaigns and consumer goods.
The New Editor provides advertisers with the opportunity to introduce
an element of sophistication to their targeting, by treating the ethnic
community as the heterogeneous, multilayered market it is; it also
allows advertisers to target the black professional class through a
medium that speaks directly to them.
Since its launch, The New Editor has become the medium of choice for
organizations as diverse as Oxford and Cambridge universities, London
Business School, Ford, BT and numerous local- and central-government
authorities that wish to reach the ethnic professional.
The New Editor quite simply breaks the mould in creating an opportunity
for advertisers to build a relationship with the ethnic professional
class.
