Tomorrow's New Statesman has been guest-edited by Jemima Khan. It's a free speech special issue featuring contributions from Julian Assange (for whom Khan stood bail), film director Oliver Stone, actor Tim Robbins, Tory MP Rory Stewart and the artist Damien Hirst.
The issue will include Khan's interview with deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and a piece by Tony Benn about the way in which new media has aided the Arab revolts.
Robbins takes the press to task while Stone gives his verdict on President Barack Obama.
The magazine's regular editor, Jason Cowley, said he asked Khan to be guest editor "because I admired her work as a human rights activist in Pakistan and her support for freedom of information."
He explained: "We met for a Marmite-and-toast breakfast in January and have been planning the issue ever since. Her enthusiasm and diligence have delighted the whole team."
