Harvard Political Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A quarterly, nonpartisan journal of political and international affairs published by the Harvard Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government.[1] The magazine was founded in 1969 by a group of undergraduates including former Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. Today it is written, edited, and managed entirely by students at Harvard College. The current Editor-in-Chief is Becca Friedman.
The magazine has international circulation, and is often cited in other print, online, and television journalism.[2][3] It is most well-known for its in-depth, nonpartisan interviews with prominent political figures. In addition to interviews, political book and art reviews, and domestic and world coverage, each issue focuses a number of articles on a single broad cover topic.
The magazine has a long and colorful history on campus, arising during the student protests of the late 1960s, and witnessing several leadership and format changes in its first several years.[4] At times it has had to fight for its editorial independence.[5]
