About The Weekly Standard

The Weekly Standard made its debut on September 18, 1995. Edited by William Kristol and Fred Barnes, the magazine is published 48 times a year by Clarity Media Group. The Weekly Standard is available by subscription. The price of a single copy is $4.95.

Those are the basic facts. But we invite you to look inside the magazine to see what it's about, department by department. And also to see who besides Slate thinks The Weekly Standard is must reading. (What Others Say and Congressional Comment.)

We'd be remiss if we didn't mention one of the big benefits of being a subscriber. Late Friday night, when we send the magazine to our printer, we also format the new issue so that we can post it on this site. Subscribers can open up the latest issue and read the editorial or the parody or that big piece splashed on the cover—or even the entire magazine. Subscribers can also read back issues in our Virtual Library. To enjoy these benefits, a subscriber registers simply by choosing a password.

The staff of The Weekly Standard also produces WeeklyStandard.com, which features reporting and comments on the news of the day.
