History
New Nation was initially launched in November 1996, by Elkin Pianim and his wife Elisabeth Murdoch, daughter of the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.[3] They later sold the title to Ethnic Media Group,[4] a leading publisher of weekly newspapers, magazines, websites and digital newspapers for Britain's African, Caribbean, Black British and Asian communities,[5] until the company went into administration in 2009.[6]
It pioneered the development of Black and Asian digital newspapers, reaching a global audience.[7] The newspaper's first two editions were priced at twenty-five pence, after which the price was raised to fifty-five pence.[4] It featured a mix of news, sport, social and political issues. It also had a recruitment and personal section. Its weekly entertainment section, The Pulse, featured black music, gospel, general entertainment features as well as exclusive interviews. "Legal Ease" was a legal column written by barrister Ryan Clement, the author of Legal Eyes, that used to be a legal column in the weekly newspaper The Voice, which was New NationTemplate:'s main competitor.
In 2003, when several UK newspapers were furnished with details about the death of Margie Schoedinger, a black woman who had filed rape charges against George W. Bush, only the New Nation chose to publish the story.[8]
New Nation published its final online issue on 17 February 2016.
