Kontakto is a magazine in Esperanto published by TEJO and supported by UEA. It started in 1963 though a proposal of the UEA committee by Humphrey Tonkin who became its first editor in chief, providing a magazine touching topics of interest for Esperanto youth. The magazine often used the slogan "In Esperanto, but not about Esperanto."
In the early 1980s, Anna Lowenstein became editor. One of her contributions was easy-to-read articles, articles about serious topics written in easy language for beginning students of Esperanto.
In 1991, the UEA committee considered no longer publishing the magazine because of its lack of profit, but in the following year Francisco Veuthey became editor and very successfully attracted new subscribers. His issues are generally considered of the highest quality in the magazine's history. However, the subscriber base fell again after Sabira Ståhlberg became editor in 1998.
Starting in 2002, Eugenia Zvereva has been its editor in chief.
