Cover of Issue #1 of Neworld MagazineWe are Neworld Global Media — a creative team led by founders Paul Linzy Johnson and Sasha Hohri. Encouraged by our friend and mentor Fred Beauford, we set out to build a historical legacy that reflects the artistic, cultural, and social evolution of our time. Since the beginning, our journey has included the creation of magazines, books, television, film, and radio — much of it award-winning for both storytelling and design.

We established Neworld magazine — a publication known for its bold stories and striking layouts — which began with a strong focus on the Harlem Renaissance and expanded to embrace multicultural arts more broadly. Our work has included the internet television platform NeworldTv.com, the radio station NeworldGlobalRadio.com, and the online neighborhood e-zine EastBway.com.

Film poster: WhitmareOur award-winning documentary film “Whitmare” is just one part of our film and media legacy. We're currently developing new multimedia projects, including additional films and three stage plays now in development, in conversation with producers and funders.

Award-winning short: MoondanceAmong our early works was the short film “Moondance”, which received festival recognition. Mr. Johnson’s book Somebody’s Child has already been published, and another, To Protect and Serve, is forthcoming.
