Inside the Magazine

The Weekly Standard not only reports and analyzes news from Washington, it alerts readers to the people, the issues and the trends that will shape the news in coming weeks. And because the forces shaping our future are not merely political—and not merely found in Washington—we give extensive coverage to cultural and social issues.

Issue 5-27 Issue 6-17 Issue 6-18
Issue 6-28 Issue 6-34 Issue 6-39

You'll also find in each issue:

Books & Arts:

The wittiest, smartest and best cultural coverage available anywhere. In Books & Arts, essayist Joseph Epstein explains why good grammar is the "slang of prigs" and Andrew Ferguson shows why "shyness" made actress Nicole Kidman pose semi-nude on the covers on dozens of magazines. Reviews and essays in Books & Arts have earned The Weekly Standard its reputation as the only major political magazine to understand the intellectual and cultural significance of religion in America.

Scrapbook:

Bite-sized pieces from confidential, high-level sources available to our reporters and wrapped around the devastatingly mordant cartoons of Peter Steiner.

Casual:

A first-person, informal essay, the Casual is a favorite of our readers.

Parody:

The magazine's wickedly subversive last page lampoons the pompous, the self-promoting, and the inane.
