"Liberals, hungry for critical political journalism, have found a special haven in The Nation, and have increasingly been turning to the Web to subscribe. Web-sourced subscriptions have increased five-fold since 2002."
--BILL MICKEY/FOLIO MAGAZINE, DECEMBER 2005

"As I know, those of us who are readers and subscribers of The Nation are deeply indebted to it for all it has done to make the discussion of vital issues of our day and our age a reality."

can disagree."

"It's intelligently written and provides extremely interesting food
and fact for thought."

"The Nation has the unenviable raison d'être of telling people what they need to know but would rather not hear. Same as the prophets of old, who were thought to be equally tiresome. I don't use the term prophets lightlyThe Nation nurtures them, they abound in the offices therea greater more brilliant clutch of dissidents, iconoclasts, investigative nerds, hotheads, and loudmouths you will hardly find anywhere, god bless them all"
E.L. DOCTOROW

"During these bleak moments when the spirit takes a dip, The Nation acts as a tonic, a bracer, a pick-me-up. And it's non alcoholic, too."
