News from Within, the English Language Publication of the Alternative Information Center (AIC), to become a Quarterly in 2008 

This decision, which rationalizes all AIC magazines into quarterly publications, is a tribute to the huge success of the AIC website, says AIC Directorship Desk

As of January 2008, the veteran English-language monthly magazine News from Within will become a quarterly publication. News from Within will thus join its Arabic and Hebrew-language counterparts, Rouya Ukhra and Mitsad Sheni, as critical journals produced four times yearly by the Alternative Information Center (AIC), a joint Palestinian-Israeli organization.

The decision to transform News from Within into a quarterly publication was made possible by the outstanding success of the AIC website (www.alternativenews.org), which meets the need for analyses, information and news on an ongoing basis. The AIC website was significantly upgraded in 2007 to include original AIC podcasts and video downloads, revamped graphics and a plethora of original writings by leading Palestinian and Israeli activists.

“The AIC devoted several months to analyzing and thinking through the issue of News from Within,” says Nassar Ibrahim, Policy Director for the AIC. “News from Within has a groundbreaking, twenty year history and a loyal readership.” “The decision wasn’t easy,” says Connie Hackbarth, Executive Director of the AIC. “However, given the current stalemate in the Middle East political process and the ever increasing pressure of the Israeli occupation, we felt a strong political obligation to critically review our activities and make positive changes. Simultaneously investing in the AIC website and the analytical functions of News from Within is a powerful step forward in AIC activities.”

The quarterly News from Within will have a strong analytical emphasis and will expand its traditional focus from Palestine-Israel to encompass the Middle East and issues of relevance to this region, including the global war, political Islam, globalization and the place of civil society. Michael (Mikado) Warschawski, cofounder of the AIC and veteran anti-colonial activist, will be the Editor of News from Within.   

News from Within will be available in hard copy and for free download from the AIC website, and solidarity subscriptions will be solicited from readers.
