The Nation
U.S. left / progressive
The Nation is America's oldest continuously published weekly magazine, owned by The Nation Company under publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel and run editorially by D. D. Guttenplan. It is funded by subscriptions, ads, and donor support rather than a single billionaire owner, and it openly identifies as a progressive/left publication rather than claiming neutrality. Its 2026 coverage of the second Trump administration has been consistently critical, focused on immigration enforcement, environmental rollbacks, and threats to democratic institutions.
Owned byThe Nation Company, L.P., a for-profit entity long controlled by publisher/editorial director Katrina vanden Heuvel and a group of investor-shareholders; day-to-day editorial leadership sits with editor D. D. Guttenplan
