Seventy years ago, Overland was founded from a broad progressive movement of political organisations, trade unions, writers and activists. They shared a commitment to literary quality, and to publishing and fostering diverse writers. In 2024, Overland maintains its progressive founding editorial vision of publishing underrepresented perspectives on issues rarely given space in traditional media.

The magazine continues to dissect media hysteria and dishonesty, give a voice to those whose stories are otherwise marginalised, misrepresented or ignored, and point public debate in alternative directions. Now, more than ever,Overland strives to nurture a community of activists, artists, writers and readers — diverse, informed, impassioned, curious and brave. Overland’s content is available for free to everyone, allowing more democratic participation in cultural and political conversations. This choice reflects our belief in the importance of open access to and participation in the means of cultural production, no matter who you are.

Under the stewardship of dedicated editors and staff, Overland will continue to be at the forefront of progressive thought in this country.

Our work is made possible with the support of our audience Please consider donating here.
