New Republic, The

    0.01 sec.

New Republic, The

Weekly journal of opinion, founded in 1914 by Willard Straight, with Herbert Croly as editor. Long one of the most influential liberal magazines in the U.S., it early reflected the progressive movement and sought reforms in U.S. government and society. Its popularity declined in the 1920s when liberalism was out of favour but revived in the 1930s. After initially opposing Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, it supported Roosevelt's New Deal. After becoming editor in 1946, former U.S. vice president Henry Wallace moved the magazine further left until he was forced to resign. In the early 1980s the magazine began to display an array of commentary reflecting the resurgence of conservatism in U.S. politics.

The agenda was Croly's 1909 treatise, which influenced politics and policy from Theodore Roosevelt through The New Republic, the New Deal, the Eisenhower era, the New Frontier, and the Great Society.
According to a posting on the UC Berkley Journalism Jobs board posting linked by TNR, the new publication, which is called Liberty Wire, describes its sensibility as follows: Our editorial slant is big tent right-of-center—as open-minded about what we publish as The New Republic, The New Yorker or The New York Times Magazine, but on the center-right rather than the center-left.
At The New Republic, the hatchet job has become the paradigm, and as a result feels formulaic and predictable -- and, thus, discountable.
