Novara Media is a news website based in the United Kingdom.

Novara was founded in June 2011 by James Butler and Aaron Bastani,[1] initially as an hour-long radio show on Resonance FM before expanding into written content and videos.[2] Other contributors include Ash Sarkar and Shon Faye. The company's office and studio, home to a number of senior editors and a core team of 15 volunteers, is based in Peckham, south London.[3]

A breakthrough for Novara took place with a July 2015 interview with Jeremy Corbyn, then the bookies' favourite for leadership of the Labour Party. The interview hit 60,000 views that week.[1]

In October 2017, Novara Media joined The Media Fund, a cooperative organisation which aims to help digital platforms counteract an 'old media system'.[4]
