REASON MAGAZINE PART 1

Reason is a libertarian monthly magazine from the Reason Foundation.
Reason was founded in 1968 by Lanny Friedlander as a more-or-less monthly mimeographed publication. In 1970 it was purchased by Robert W. Poole, Manuel S. Klausner, and Tibor R. Machan, who set it on a more regular publishing schedule. As the monthly print magazine of "free minds and free markets", it covers politics, culture, and ideas with a mix of news, analysis, commentary, and reviews.
Matt Welch has been the magazine's editor-in-chief since 2008. Other Reason writers include Jacob Sullum, Jesse Walker, Brian Doherty, Ronald Bailey, Radley Balko, Tim Cavanaugh, Kerry Howley, David Weigel, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Michael C. Moynihan, Damon Root, Greg Beato, Cathy Young, Jonathan Rauch, and cartoonist Peter Bagge. Former editors include Nick Gillespie, Marty Zupan, and Virginia Postrel.
Erik Spiekermann, the inventor of the typeface Meta, headed a redesign of Reason in 2001, aiming for a look that is "cleaner, more modern, making use of the Meta typeface throughout".
In June 2004, subscribers to Reason magazine received a personalized issue that had their name, and a satellite photo of their home or workplace on the cover.
The magazine has a circulation of around 60,000 and has twice been named one of the "50 best magazines" by the Chicago Tribune.[1]
In 2008, Reason's web site, reason.com, was named a Webby Award Honoree in the magazine category.[2]

Great magazine, just subscribed recently.

I regularly read articles from the Reason website. It is one of the gratest magazines of our times.

@jamieschweser-agreed. Not to mention the libertarians love of a strong defense (which the armed forces are the biggest socialist institution in the world), the police, fire departments, interstate highways, the NIH, CDC, etc. Oh, and free markets? That means we need government intervention on monopolies, a strong SEC (which Cato/Koch Bros vow to stop), and the consideration of environmental externalities in the cost of business

For 10 years or so I regularly read incisive and informative articles from Reason Magazine and found them useful sources for info in many a debate and political forum, but alas that was back in 1985-1996 and briefly in 2000 something. I was wondering what Reason was up to these days, and sadly came across Katherine Mangu-Ward's poorly reasoned comments on Ron Paul. Katherine should apologize or resign. "The enemies of Freedom are cleverly disguised" at Reason Magazine.

Interesting that a libertarian newscast begins with a shot of the Statue of Liberty- a public monument on public land, all maintained by The National Park Service, a government agency funded by our taxes.

Matt, the '80s called--they want their hairstyle back.

Hah. I love Welch's articles.
