Accolades for TNR

“An ability to explain complex ideas in plainspoken English ... an evenness of temper ... a sincere liberal but without the temperament of an ideologue. That’s how The New Republic characterized candidate Barack Obama in 2008. The magazine might as well have been describing its own remarkable attributes.”

—The Utne Independent Press, giving The New Republic its award for Best Political Coverage
