Foreign Policy is anAmerican news publication founded in 1970 focused onglobal affairs,current events, and domestic andinternational policy. It produces content daily on its website and app,[1] and in four print issues annually.
Foreign Policy magazine and ForeignPolicy.com are published by The FP Group,[2] a division ofGraham Holdings Company (formerly The Washington Post Company). The FP Group also produces FP Events,Foreign Policy's events division, launched in 2012.
Foreign Policy was founded in late 1970 bySamuel P. Huntington, professor ofHarvard University, and his friendWarren Demian Manshel to give a voice to alternative views about American foreign policy at the time of theVietnam War.[3][4] Huntington hoped it would be "serious but not scholarly, lively but not glib".[3]
In early 1978, after six years of close partnership, theCarnegie Endowment for International Peace acquired full ownership ofForeign Policy. In 2000, a format change was implemented from a slim quarterly academic journal to a bimonthly magazine. It also launched international editions inEurope,Africa, theMiddle East,Asia andLatin America.
In September 2008,Foreign Policy was bought by The Washington Post Company (nowGraham Holdings Company).[5] In 2012, Foreign Policy grew to become the FP Group—an expansion ofForeign Policy magazine to include ForeignPolicy.com and FP Events.[6]
According to its submission guidelines,Foreign Policy articles "strike the balance" between informed specialist research and general readability, and tend to be written in plain rather than"wonky" language.[7]
Foreign Policy endorsed Democratic candidateHillary Clinton in the2016 US presidential election. This was the first time in its 50-year history the magazine endorsed a candidate.[8]
Since 2003,Foreign Policy has been nominated for eightNational Magazine Awards, winning six: three for its print publication and three for its digital publication at ForeignPolicy.com.FP is the only independent magazine that has won consecutive digital national magazine awards every year from being established in 2009.[citation needed]
