Global South Development Magazine (GSDM) is an online magazine dedicated to international development issues. The magazine is inspired by the idea of citizen journalism and primarily covers developmental issues of developing countries. From 2010 to 2015, GSDM was a quarterly magazine published by a Finnish non-profit development media organisation Silver Lining Creation.

The first issue of the quarterly magazine was published in March 2010 dedicating its first cover issue to the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit.

On 11 September 2011, the magazine team was expanded with an Assistant Editor and a number of other special correspondents [2] The magazine team claimed that within a relatively short period of its inception, their publication had been received very well and still has an influential global readership. GSDM's distribution was free of charge. In 2012, the magazine launched a separate website] to archive its published articles and special reports. [3] In 2013, GSDM introduced the concept of Development Reporters as an effort to encourage students of development studies and community activists to write about global development issues. [4]
Global South Development Magazine has been run by its global editorial team which by June 2012 consisted of 40 professional volunteers from different parts of the world. The magazine has an executive editorial team, five regional editors, a group of special correspondents and numerous country reporters. [5]
GSDM has covered many issues that range from development aid to environmental sustainability. On its October 2011 edition, the magazine criticized Apple Inc. for their poor philanthropy records.
