The New Republic provides in-depth progressive political coverage, breaking news and fearless journalism. When The New Republic was founded in 1914, its mission was to provide its readers with an intelligent, stimulating and rigorous examination of American politics, foreign policy and culture. By publishing the best writing from a variety of viewpoints -- including those from arts and culture, with literary criticism that sets the standard in the academic arena and among general readers alike -- The New Republic continues to be among America's best and most influential journals of opinion.
