More on The Washington Monthly
Description from Wikipedia:
The Washington Monthly is a monthly magazine of United States politics and government that is based in Washington, D.C.
The magazine's founder is Charles Peters, who started the magazine in 1969 and continues to write monthly columns. Paul Glastris, former speechwriter for Bill Clinton, has been the Monthly's editor-in-chief since 2001. Author and journalist Markos Kounalakis is the magazine's current president. Nick Penniman is the magazine's current publisher. Past staff editors of the magazine include Taylor Branch, James Fallows, David Ignatius, Nicholas Lemann, Mickey Kaus, Jonathan Alter, Joshua Green and Jon Meacham.
The politics of the Monthly are left of center, though somewhat moderately so. Founder Charles Peters refers to himself as a New Deal Democrat and advocates for effective use of government to address social problems. His columns also frequently emphasize the importance of a vigilant Fourth Estate in keeping government honest.
The Monthly is one of a growing number of magazines to feature a continuing blog; the popular "Political Animal" was written principally by Kevin Drum for several years, with frequent guest contributions by the Monthly's current and alumni editors. In 2008, Steve Benen took over as lead blogger.
