ownership
What was the pre-1970 ownership? How was the publication captured so that it was no longer available to students for their "juvenilia"? Diomedea Exulans (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

The magazine was originally a Cambridge University magazine in the late 19th century, then went defunct in I think the '30s (I can't find an exact date for this – having been looking in the Cambridge library catalogue where they mention the magazine was 'banned' for a year or so in the twenties due to a racy poem. Can't get full details as am not a library member). So in 1979 Bill Buford 'relaunched' the brand while he was at Cambridge – effectively using the name of an extinct Cambridge university magazine for a new business enterprise: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/dec/30/culture.features. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lneima (talk • contribs) 13:06, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

define "recent"
How can Chatwin be a "recent contributor" when he has been deceased for over two decades? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.126.224.97 (talk) 05:24, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

He's definitely not a recent contributor! This page is badly outdated. I will update with some more recent contributors. A list of contributors from each issue can be found on the issues page at: Granta.com/issues Lneima (talk) 12:58, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Update
Hey all. I'm online editor here at Granta and just realised how badly out of date this is. Good points below on Bruce Chatwin and ownership pre-Buford. Hope the comments help clarify.

Key points of change:

The magazine's current editor is Sigrid Rausing, also the publisher, as of issue 125: After the War, Autumn 2013 ).

Circulation: suggest referring to the current mediapack:

Granta also publishes poetry, which has somehow been missed out here.

It might be worth updating recent contributors with publications of the Booker prize-winning authors Eleanor Catton and Han Kang (for the Booker International). Both in the magazine as well as by associated book-publisher imprint (Han Kang with Portobello, Catton with Granta Books). I can also provide a longer list of recent notable authors.

For sources in the History section – we have a stack of old copies of the original 'The Granta' in the office, so I could cite from some of those mastheads if necessary. Should all citations be online? I wonder if a library catalogue or Google-Books / Jstor-equivalent might have some pdfs of the mastheads to link on to?
