''Red Pepper'' is an independent "radical red and green" magazine based in the UK.〔(Independent News Collective )〕〔("This month sees the fifth birthday of Red Pepper, the radical red and green magazine that has defied all predictions by surviving in a market...)〕 For most of its history it appeared monthly, but relaunched as a bi-monthly during 2007. == Origins == ''Red Pepper'' was founded by the Socialist Movement – an independent left-wing grouping that grew out of a series of large conferences held in Chesterfield in 1987 and 1988 after the defeat of Britain’s miners’ strike of the mid-1980s. The Socialist Movement set up a campaigning, fortnightly newspaper called ''Socialist''〔 in autumn 1991. It lasted through September 1992.〔 Supporters of ''The Socialist'' were convinced that there was a demand for a regular green-left publication, published independently of any political party. After a fundraising drive, which raised an initial £135,000, ''Red Pepper'' launched as a monthly in May 1995.〔(Red Pepper magazine history page )〕 Its first editor was Denise Searle, who had also edited ''Socialist''. But for most of its history, it has been edited by socialist and feminist Hilary Wainwright〔 best known as the co-author of ''Beyond the Fragments''. From 2004 she became co-editor alongside Oscar Reyes. In July 2009, Oscar stepped down and James O'Nions and Michael Calderbank replaced him, with Emma Hughes and Sarah-Jayne Clifton joining the editorial team in 2010. Now more of an editorial collective, Sarah left in 2013 to be replaced by Michelle Zellers. Prominent journalists involved with the publication at some point include Nick Cohen, Gary Younge〔(See for instance 'What Obama means to the world' by Gary Younge in Red Pepper )〕 and Barbara Gunnell. The magazine's reported circulation in November 1995 was 13,000. In 2004, it was reportedly 7,000.〔 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「Red Pepper (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
