A pioneer in nonprofit journalism, The American Prospect was founded as a 501(c)(3) and published its first issue in Spring 1990 as a champion for informed discussion on progressive public policy.
Since the start, the Prospect has formulated ideas and unfurled narrative storytelling to illuminate complex issues and inform Americans on how to achieve positive change.
The Prospect continues to tell stories that matter, covering concentrated corporate power, the financial industry, the labor movement, immigration, infrastructure, foreign policy, and the climate crisis.
If it matters in progressive politics, the Prospect is — and will be — on top of it.
