Co-op News is a UK-based monthly news magazine and website for the global co-operative movement.[1] [2]

First published in Manchester in 1871 as The Co-operative News, the paper is the world's oldest co-operative newspaper.[3] [4] Originally a weekly newspaper, the paper moved to being published fortnightly in 2006, and finally monthly in 2017.[5] Recent years have also seen the newspaper re-brand and move to its current news magazine format.

The paper is based in Holyoake House, Manchester and is published by the Co-operative Press, a consumer co-operative whose members are the subscribers of the paper.

In 1883 the paper began publishing a Women's Corner, edited by Alice Acland. This fomented the establishment of the Women's League for the Spread of Co-operation later that year. The League was later renamed to the Women's Co-operative Guild.

In 1971 the Scottish Co-operator – founded 1893 – was merged into the Co-operative News.
