Ideas, Politics & Power

IDEAS, POLITICS & POWER: A nonprofit national magazine, The American Prospect covers social and economic injustice, bringing reliable analysis together with fresh reporting. We dispel myths, challenge convention, and expand dialogue. Our writers are journalists who dive deep, scholars who write for a popular audience, and citizens with stories to share. Our Writing Fellowship is the best entry-level job in journalism. Our narrative approach to complex issues allows us to engage activists, scholars, policy makers, concerned citizens, and other media. Our materials are sourced by kindred organizations, in textbooks, and in university classrooms. In print and online, we make a difference.
