The Nation

The flagship publication of the left, The Nation claims the highest circulation of any weekly political magazine," according to--of all cheerleaders--The Wall Street Journal. Founded in 1865 and more popular today than ever, The Nation covers progressive politics, news and culture and publishes hundreds of pages each month, delivered weekly and jam-packed with news, features, investigative reporting, editorials, analysis, book and movies reviews--award-winning writing that entertains and educates as it impacts public policy.

The Nation has been called the moral compass of American political thought for being ahead of the curve on issues from abolition, public education, equal rights for women and workers and the growing threat of fascism in Europe in the 1930s, to the Cold War excesses of McCarthyism and Vietnam, nuclear proliferation, the debacle in Iraq and the worldwide financial meltdown.
