Washington Monthly Careers

Thanks to generous long-term support from foundations and donors, the Washington Monthly is thriving, and HIRING!  After President Kennedy hired our founder Charlie Peters to evaluate Peace Corps programs around the world, the writing that came back was so good that Peters decided to launch a magazine, The Washington Monthly.  Since 1969 the magazine has prided itself on launching the careers of journalists who have risen to the pinnacle of the profession, including Nicholas Lemann, Dean of the Columbia School of Journalism; Jon Meacham and Jonathan Alter of Newsweek, Katherine Boo of The New Yorker; James Fallows and James Bennet of The Atlantic, Michael Kinsley, founder of Slate.com, Amy Sullivan of Time, historian Taylor Branch, David Ignatius of The Washington Post, and Joe Nocera and Nicholas Confessore of  The New York Times, among others.

Like the restaurant where chefs go to eat, The Washington Monthly has become the political magazine and website where Beltway insiders go for high-quality, ahead-of-the-pack journalism.  We break the stories, highlight the issues, and frame the arguments that Americans will read in their newspapers and see on TV and the Web months or even years later.
