About NEE

New Eastern Europe is an independent English-language bimonthly magazine dedicated to Central and Eastern European affairs. The magazine has been providing in-depth reporting, analysis and commentary on the region since 2011. Published by the Jan Nowak-Jeziorański College of Eastern Europe, a Polish non-governmental organization, and in partnership with the European Solidarity Centre, and the City of Gdańsk, the editorial offices are based in Kraków, Poland.

Over the past fifteen years, New Eastern Europe has become one of the leading international platforms for understanding the political, social, economic and security developments shaping Central and Eastern Europe. Our work reaches readers across Europe, North America and beyond, including policymakers, diplomats, academics, journalists, civil society leaders, students, and anyone seeking informed perspectives on the region.

Our mission is to deepen the understanding of Central and Eastern Europe by providing independent, thoughtful and accessible journalism which best represent the changes taking place here. We believe that the region’s voices, experiences and debates deserve to be heard on their own terms. We publish diverse perspectives from journalists, scholars, writers, cultural figures, analysts, historians, policymakers and practitioners from across the region and beyond, fostering informed discussion on democracy, security, culture, European integration, human rights, history and society.

Editorial independence is at the core of everything we do. While our work is supported through subscriptions, grants and partnerships, our editorial decisions remain entirely independent. We are committed to publishing rigorous, balanced and intellectually honest journalism that contributes to a better understanding of one of Europe’s most dynamic and strategically important regions.

Today, New Eastern Europe is more than a magazine. Our journalism is delivered through our print and digital editions, our website, the award-nominated Talk Eastern Europe podcast, and our weekly newsletter, Brief Eastern Europe. Together, these platforms provide timely reporting alongside the deeper analysis for which the magazine has become known.

As a not-for-profit publication, every subscription, donation and grant directly supports our mission. Our resources are invested in producing high-quality journalism, commissioning original voices, and making informed analysis of Central and Eastern Europe accessible to readers around the world.

Why We Matter

For more than fifteen years, New Eastern Europe has helped readers understand one of the world’s most dynamic and strategically important regions. We believe that informed public debate begins with reliable, independent journalism that places events in their historical, political and social context.

At a time when Central and Eastern Europe is at the centre of many of Europe’s defining challenges – from Russia’s war against Ukraine and European security to democratic resilience, EU enlargement and regional cooperation – our mission is to provide thoughtful analysis that goes beyond the headlines.

Our commitment is to independent, high-quality, public interest journalism. We publish diverse viewpoints, encourage constructive debate and maintain editorial independence from political and commercial influence. As a not-for-profit publication, every subscription, donation and partnership directly supports our ability to commission original reporting, publish expert analysis and make trusted information about the region accessible to readers worldwide.

In an era of rapid news cycles, disinformation and growing geopolitical uncertainty, New Eastern Europe provides its readers with important context, credibility and a platform for the voices shaping the future of our region.
