About Us

The Key is a new, ambitious online publication focused on high-quality analysis, interviews, essays, reviews and reportage about Palestine.

The Key will cover Palestine how it should be covered: as the core issue at the heart of the modern world. The Key will examine and expose, week on week, the global ramifications of the colonization of Palestine and the Western support for Israel.

The Key will publish, review and critique the most important new writing coming from and about Palestine.The Key will, piece by piece, map the battles being fought over Palestine across Western institutions and analyse their contours. What is actually going on in the cultural superstructures of Hollywood, the music industry, the publishing world?

The Key will be a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets. If you have a story, email us.

The Key will pay its writers, commission new pieces, and edit to the highest standard. So the Key will need you to subscribe!
