''Green Left Weekly'' is an Australian socialist newspaper, written by progressive activists to "present the views excluded by the big business media". It was initiated in 1990 as a proposal for a broad left publication from the Democratic Socialist Perspective (DSP)〔(Green Left - Australia's leading radical newspaper )〕 which ceased publication of its own party newspaper in order to support the project. ''Green Left Weekly''s 20th anniversary issue was published in February 2011,〔(Green Left Weekly turns 20 )〕 and in March 2014, the 1,000th edition of ''Green Left Weekly'' was published.〔(GLW issue number 1000 ). ''Green Left Weekly''. Retrieved on 13 June 2014〕 ==Overview== It is an independent Australian source of local, national and international news, and provides left-wing analysis and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist and socialist movements. In an editorial in the first issue, Green Left Weekly stated: Subjects of particular importance to ''Green Left Weekly'' include workers rights, refugees, women's rights, global warming, environmental destruction, Australian Aboriginal land rights, and foreign policy, especially Australia's military intervention in the Asia-Pacific region, the U.S. led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and other forms of U.S. political intervention overseas (such as in Latin America). In 2011, ''Green Left Weekly'' was investigated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission at the request of the Baillieu Ministry for supporting Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions actions in Melbourne.〔 The movement was found not to have violated any laws. The newspaper strongly supports the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela led by Hugo Chávez, and in the past opened a bureau in Caracas to improve its coverage of events there. At the time, it was the only Australian newspaper with a bureau in Latin America. It is also the only Australian newspaper to regularly print articles by left-wing journalist John Pilger. Pilger has said of ''Green Left Weekly'': "There are few other newspapers — radical or any other kind — that draw together news and analysis that is as well informed, credible, and non-sectarian as ''Green Left Weekly''. Its work has influenced mine and has been a beacon to those who believe the press ought to be an agent of the people." Since 2008, ''Green Left Weekly'' has published a monthly Arabic language supplement, ''The Flame'', edited by Socialist Alliance members of the growing Sudanese Australian community. In 2009, ''Green Left Weekly'' launched a new Spanish language supplement, ''Foro Social Latinamericano'', edited by the Latin America Social Forum in Sydney, a collaboration between left-wing members and groups in the Latin American community in Australia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green Left Weekly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
