The New European newspaper launches for anti-Brexit voters
A new weekly newspaper is launching on Friday to give a voice to “dismayed” EU Referendum ‘Remain’ voters, The Huffington Post writes.
According to the source, The New European is aimed at the 48% of people who it says feel disenfranchised and a “real sense of loss” after voting for Britain to stay in the European Union.
Matt Kelly, the paper’s editor, told The Huffington Post UK it would cater to the “broad spectrum” who voted Remain. “It’s not a political group, it’s an attitude,” he said.
“It’s an attitude of expansiveness and connection to Europe. And so I think our newspaper is a not a political newspaper, it’s a newspaper that tries to provide a platform for encouraging discussion and delight in many things that we love about Europe in the first place.”
Writers include the Guardian’s Jonathan Friedland and ex-Loaded and GQ editor James Brown, broadcaster Miranda Sawyer and Tanit Koch, the editor of Europe’s most-read newspaper Bild - but politicians are banned.
