[edit] Policy Review in popular culture
Policy Review is mentioned in the 2003 movie Shattered Glass. Near the beginning of the movie, which is based on actual events, a receptionist for The New Republic says to New Republic writer Stephen Glass (played by Hayden Christensen): "Call for you on three, sweetie...someone from Policy Review."
A female editor played by Chloë Sevigny then turns to Glass and, in a somewhat provocative tone of voice, asks him: "When did you start talking to Policy Review?"[1]
