The American Prospect
"Launched in 1990 by Paul Starr, Robert Kuttner, and Robert B. Reich -- former Clinton Secretary of Labor - The American Prospect has a circulation of approximately 15,000. Originally a quarterly, it has shifted to bimonthly publication in 1996 and is available on newsstands and by subscription (as well as online). It is published by The American Prospect, Inc., an independent nonprofit organization established by the magazine's founders."
"The aim of The American Prospect is to contribute to a renewal of America's democratic traditions by presenting a practical and convincing vision of liberal philosophy, politics, and public life. We publish articles for the general reader that attempt to break through conventional understanding and creatively reframe public questions. Ours is not a magazine of complaint, of angry gestures, or of private irritations. It's a magazine of public ideas, firmly committed -- however unfashionably -- to a belief in public improvement. America can do much good, and it can do much better."
