Another radical journal of the period was the
Establishment
New Left Review was established in January 1960 when The New Reasoner and Universities and Left Review merged their boards.[2] The first editor-in-chief of the merged publication was Stuart Hall.[2] The early publication's style, featuring illustrations on the cover and in the interior layout, was more irreverent and free-flowing than later issues of the publication, which tended to be of a more somber, academic bent.[1] Hall was succeeded as editor in 1962 by Perry Anderson.[2]
In 1993, nineteen of the members of the editorial committee resigned, citing a loss of control over content by the Editorial Board/Committee in favour of a Shareholders' Trust, which they argued was undemocratic. The Trust cited financial sustainability of the journal as an issue. It comprised Perry Anderson, his brother Benedict Anderson, and Ronald Fraser.[3] The journal was again relaunched in 2000, and Perry Anderson returned as editor until 2003.[2]
Since 2008

Writer Benjamin Kunkel is a member of the editorial committee of New Left Review.[5]
