The Nation (magazine)

First published in 1865, a weekly U.S. print and Web magazine of culture and opinion. Its policy, stated in the 1865 prospectus, is that it "will not be the organ of any party, sect, or body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration, and misrepresentation by which so much of the political writing of the day is marred."

Its current Editor and Publisher is Katrina Vanden Heuvel.
