Founded by two former fact-checkers at The New Yorker, new title Now Voyager sets out to usher in an era of reporting devoted to international stories that cross borders and—where relevant—expose the connections between them. The publication promises rigorous journalism, research, and fact-checking, without sacrificing creative liberties, spanning long-form writing, photography, art, food, and humour. Touted as ‘ambitious’ by The New York Times when it debuted—beneath a headline that reads ‘A New Magazine of International Reportage? In This Media Environment?’—Now Voyager sets sail at a time of shifting media landscapes.
This dusty lavender third edition showcases Ethiopian artist Tesfaye Urgessa’s metaphysical masterpiece ‘The Golden Economy’ as the focal point of its now staple bisected cover design. Reproduced in full-bleed inside, Urgessa’s work embodies—as art historian Dagmawit Abebaw Hunz asserts—a poignant and recognisable ‘call for empathy and humanity’.
Opening the issue, readers will find a 14-page spread dedicated to ‘World Matters’, featuring a series of briefings from across the globe. Elsewhere, Caitlin L. Chandler investigates the U.S. military’s entanglement with Poland through a haphazard bar crawl across the Polish state, gathering perspectives from locals and the military ‘Yanks’ that have come to populate their home in recent years; Hugh Kinsella Cunningham delivers a series of photographs depicting a week spent journeying the terrain of the Rwenzori mountain range spanning east equatorial Africa, devoted to its changing landscape against a backdrop of long term political instability; and Makana Eyre muses on the nuanced experience of working as a literary translator, delving into what she asserts as a ‘strange, slippery art.’
Plus, a whole host of other stories scavenged from across the globe, spanning Cairo, Biarritz, Berlin, the Erythraean Sea, Stone Henge, and more.
