The Nation Magazine

The Nation is America's oldest weekly magazine, serving as a critical, independent voice in American journalism and a platform for investigative reporting and spirited debate on issues of import to the progressive community. Through changing times and fashions, The Nation offers consistently informed and inspired reporting and analysis of breaking news, politics, social issues and the arts—never faltering in editorial commitment to what Publisher Emeritus Victor Navasky has called “a dissenting, independent, trouble-making, idea-launching journal of critical opinion.”



For 150 years, The Nation has uniquely chronicled the breadth of American political and cultural life and is often considered the “flagship” of the political Left. We don’t just talk about progress, we instigate it. The Nation has a proud history of connecting thinkers with doers, of seeking out and amplifying the best ideas and the most thought-provoking, engaging and talented voices—many of whom were ahead of their time.
