Hanes gweinyddol
The magazine Planet was launched in 1970 and published six times a year by Ned Thomas and his wife Sara Erskine, initially from their home in Llangeithio, Carmarthenshire. The editorial team included Tudor David, Harri Webb and John Tripp. The politics of the magazine was left-wing and Nationalist, with an interest in European minorities, ecology, sociology, Anglo-Welsh literature, and translations of verse and prose from Welsh and other languages. In 1977 it took the subtitle The Welsh Internationalist. Initial publication ended in 1979, but in 1985 the magazine was relaunched, and it is now a quarterly magazine.
