The New Nottingham Journal is a print publication launching in 2025 which takes its inspiration from Nottingham’s rich culture of writing, both past and present.

We take inspiration from the city’s rich history of publications like the original Nottingham Journal, a newspaper which ran from the early 18th century until the 1950s - where writers like Graham Greene and J.M. Barrie learned their trade.
