The Propagandist Bites Back

We like to think our take-no-prisoners political magazine is pretty cool. But it's nice when a fellow publication takes the time to throw a little kudos our way.

We'd like to extend a big welcome to our new readers from The Next Web. Thanks again to all of our contributors, sponsors and fans who have helped us get to where we are today.

An excerpt from TNW's The Propagandist: an online magazine with bite:

“Our political commentary is often earnest, quirky, satirical and always provocative,” Narvey says. “We’ve got contributing writers from the left and the right. I like to think that the site is the ‘revolution of the centre’.”
 

But as the web has become a destination for those looking for compelling stories and social commentary, The Propagandist has plenty of company. Narvey makes no bones about it: standing out in this racket isn’t easy, but there can be ways to do it. Diversification and pushing the envelope are two tactics that The Propagandist has undertaken, and they appear to be serving the site well.

 

“Other political sites, magazines, etc. already take a “hard left” or a “hard right” stance, and that is because to get noticed on the Internet you tend to have to be a bit extreme,” Narvey continued. “One of the ways we’re trying to differentiate ourselves is not so much about what we represent…but who we’re going after are people or movements that you would think would get “hit” quite a bit more than they do.”
 

Narvey went on to mention such examples as the Gaza floatilla, talking about Hugo Chavez and the Taliban. Narvey believes that a “Free pass” is often given to these people and movements by political commentators from both the left and right sides of the spectrum. Through the use of lesser utilized (yet appealing) methods of getting messages across such as infographics and a new podcast, The Propagandist offers several ways to deliver bold arguments and , above all, the truth.
