Website Mobile Print Events Social 60 Madison Avenue, Suite 1001, New York, NY 10010, 646.861.1924 ABOUT POLITICS, CULTURE & BIG IDEAS In 1914, the founding editors wrote, “The New Republic is an attempt to fi nd a national audience for a journal of interpretation and opinion… When the plan of The New Republic was being discussed, it received spontaneous welcome from people in all parts of the country. They differed in theories and programs; but they agreed that if The New Republic could bring suffi cient enlightenment to the problems of the nation and suffi cient sympathy to its complexities, it would service all those who feel the challenge of our time.” Nearly a century later, The New Republic remains committed to the mission of its founders. Tailored for smart, curious and socially aware readers, our journalism does not just tell interesting stories, but always asks why these stories matter and why a leader should care. We connect the dots, the disparate facts of our reporting, and synthesize them to provide another layer of understanding.
