TNE is a new pan-European media company publishing digitally and in an award-winning, weekly newsmagazine format. With a weekly audience of over 44,000 (subscribers, retail sales and registered readers), and a roster of experienced investors, TNE is raising funds to scale-up its digital growth in the UK and Europe.
The New European’s vision - “Think Without Borders” - is for an honest, bold, alternative to the nationalism of many mainstream media in the UK and beyond.
Launched as a weekly newspaper in 2016 in reaction to Brexit, TNE is established as a multi-media title, backed by investors including Mark Thompson (NYT, BBC), Lionel Barber (FT), Taavet Hinrikus (Skype, Wise), Robin and Saul Klein (Index Ventures, LocalGlobe), Kerstin Mogull (Tate), Tanit Koch (Axel Springer) and Ed Williams (Edelman).
Since becoming independent in early 2021, an acquisition led by Founder Matt Kelly (Reach, Local World) and Exec Chair Gavin O’Reilly (Independent), TNE invested in digital platforms, subs tech and has grown its team of regular contributors to include Alastair Campbell, Bonnie Greer and Will Self.
TNE’s unique blend of pan-European political and cultural writing has won both the Society of Editors Award (2016) and British Media Award (2017), and now enjoys a growing weekly audience totalling more than 44,000 in the robust political periodical market.
TNE is raising funds for a sustained marketing drive to further scale-up digital growth. TNE's original investors are following their investment on the same terms being offered on Crowdcube, giving new investors - who share TNE’s vision - the opportunity to join them and play a role in shaping TNE's future.
