'We've all seen them on the shelves - vacuous magazines claiming to be "written in a language young people can understand" while Team Bush and Blair carry on like there's no-one looking.

BULB is Britain's first and only global issues magazine aimed at and largely written by young people.
Published bi-monthly, BULB addresses issues from trade justice, human rights and the environment to race, migration, corporate power and religion all from a youth perspective.
BULB aims to generate awareness of global issues, encourage tolerance, understanding, and action for peace and justice and provide a platform on which a more empowered youth are more willing and able to reach out the their global peers in solidarity.

BULB is written and illustrated mostly by young people (under 23s) from around the world and sold in Britain through a network of vendors in schools and festivals, subscriptions and retail outlets. All profits made are put back into the social objectives of the magazine through providing workshops in global issues, journalism, design, campaigning, team work and running a co-operative enterprise. BULB was launched by Amaranta Wright, critically acclaimed author of "Ripped and Torn:Levi's Latin America and the Blue Jean Dream," and is approaching it's first anniversary.'
