Searchlight magazine describes itself as an "international anti-Fascist magazine", and publishes material critical of what it perceives to be far-right political organisations worldwide. It is edited by Gerry Gable, a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain until 1962 and the "62 Group".
Searchlight has consistently published exposés of the National Front and the British National Party and their members, by searchlight persuing policy of infiltrating the BNP. It has been heavily criticised by some on the right who claim such articles were attempts to encourage physical attacks on the individuals concerned.
Searchlight has also written about organizations such as Combat 18 and the White power music scene.
Searchlight has been controversial on both the right and the left of the British political spectrum. Many organisations such as Anti-Fascist Action refuse to work with it due to its alleged links with the British security forces. It has been sued by a plethora of organisations on many occasions for publishing inaccurate or deliberately false information, often successfully.
