This page was last updated on July 13, 2008, in order to reflect changes in TNTR editorial vision.

Visit our submissions page if you are interested in contributing to or working with the New Texas Radical.

The New Texas Radical is a radical news website and activist resource based in Austin, Texas. This publication aims to discuss political, social, economic, and cultural themes relevant to Texas from radical viewpoints; to expand community understanding of these themes; to provide a voice for activists and citizens committed to spreading social justice by helping to overthrow capitalism, class, white power, patriarchy, homophobia, xenophobia, war, and other deep-rooted institutional failures; and to help build a radical-progressive left movement.

As a publication, we embrace advocacy journalism, or the practice of using fact-based arguments to support certain views and causes. In particular, we side with History’s Losers: the poor, the oppressed, minorities, workers, women, and children. In this way, we are openly biased against reactionaries and committed to social justice.

Because we endorse advocacy journalism, we reserve the right not to print submissions that promote racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, or are otherwise intended to derail or contradict our stated aims.

The New Texas Radical is a project of CHR Media Collective, a non-profit media collective based in Texas. It builds on work previously accomplished by members of Turning the Tide, a now-defunct radical news magazine based in Corpus Christi, Texas.
