The magazine was founded in 1969 by a group of Harvard undergraduates including former Vice President Al Gore.[2]
The magazine has a long and colorful history on campus. It was formed during the era of student protests in the late 1960s, and witnessed several leadership and format changes in its first few years of existence.[4] At times it has had to fight for its editorial independence.[5]
Today it is written, edited, and managed entirely by undergraduates at Harvard. The Harvard Political Review also operates a website that publishes daily, called HPR Online.
The magazine is most well known for its in-depth interviews with prominent political figures. In addition to interviews, book reviews, and general coverage of domestic and world affairs, each issue features a number of articles organized around a central theme or topic.
In the fall of 2010, the magazine published an online-only report on the U.S. federal budget entitled the Annual Report of the United States of America. Its editors were featured on Fox News[6] and the Huffington Post.[7][8]
