Harper's Magazine is a monthly magazine of literature, politics, culture, finance, and the arts. Launched in New York City in June 1850, it is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States.[a] Harper's Magazine has won 22 National Magazine Awards.[1]
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the magazine published works of prominent authors and political figures, including Herman Melville, Woodrow Wilson, and Winston Churchill. Willie Morris's resignation as editor in 1971 was considered a major event, and many other employees of the magazine resigned with him. The magazine has developed into the 21st century, adding several blogs. It is related under the same publisher to Harper's Bazaar magazine, focused on fashion, and several other "Harper's" titles but each publication is independently produced.
According to a 2012 Pew Research Center study, Harper's Magazine, along with the The Atlantic, and the The New Yorker, ranked highest in college-educated readership among major American media outlets.[2]
