Everything about Reason Magazine totally explained
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's "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.
In 2008, Reason's web site Reason.com was named a Webby Award Honoree in the magazine category.
Hit and Run
Hit & Run is
Reason's group
blog. It is maintained and written by the staff of the magazine. It was started in 2002. Former
Reason Editor-in-Chief
Nick Gillespie and
Reason Web Editor
Tim Cavanaugh, both veterans of
Suck.com, modeled the blog in some ways after that website: they brought along several other Suck.com writers to contribute, fostered a style in the blog matching that former website's sarcastic attitude, and even the name "Hit & Run" was taken from what had been a weekly news roundup column on Suck.com. The Reason editors referred to this co-opting of the former website as the "
Suck-ification of
Reason."
In 2005, Hit & Run was named as one of the best political blogs by
Playboy.
