In 1881, newspaperman-turned-railroad-baron Henry Villard acquired The Nation and converted it into a weekly literary supplement for his daily newspaper the New York Evening Post. Henry Villard ( April 10 1835 &ndash November 12, 1900) was an American Journalist and financier of German origin The offices of the magazine were moved to the Evening Post's headquarters at 210 Broadway. The New York Evening Post would later morph into a tabloid: the New York Post was a left-leaning afternoon tabloid under owner Dorothy Schiff from 1939 to 1976, and has been a conservative tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch since that time, while The Nation became known for its left-liberal politics. The New York Post is the 13th-oldest Newspaper published in the United States and generally acknowledged as the oldest to have been published continually Dorothy Schiff ( March 11, 1903 &mdash August 30, 1989) was an owner and then Publisher of the New York Post for Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favour Tradition, where tradition refers to various religious cultural or nationally defined is gay Bold text' Keith Rupert Murdoch', AC, KCSG (born Melbourne, March 11 1931 usually known as Rupert Murdoch, is an Australian-American

Oswald Garrison Villard ( March 13, 1872 – October 1, 1949) was a U He remade The Nation into a current affairs publication and gave it a liberal orientation. Villard's takeover of The Nation prompted a roughly 50 year monitoring of the magazine by the FBI. The FBI had a file on Villard since 1915. Almost every editor of The Nation from Villard's time to the 1970s was looked at for "subversive" activities and ties. [5] When Albert Jay Nock, not long later, published a column criticizing Samuel Gompers and trade unions for being complicit in the war machine of the First World War, The Nation was briefly suspended from the U. Albert Jay Nock ( October 13, 1870 or 1872 August 19, 1945) was an influential American libertarian author Samuel Gompers (January 27 1850 - December 13 1924 was an American labor union leader and a key figure in American labor history.

During the late 1940s and again in the early 1950s, a merger was discussed among Kirchwey - on The Nation's side (later McWilliams when he took over) - and Michael Straight of The New Republic. Michael Whitney Straight, ( September 1, 1916 – January 4, 2004) was an American magazine publisher, Novelist The New Republic ( TNR) is an American Magazine of politics and the arts The two magazines were very similar at that time - both were left of center (The Nation further left than TNR); both had circulations around 100,000 (TNR had a slightly higher circulation); and both lost money - and it was thought that the two magazines could unite and make the most powerful journal of opinion. The new publication would have been called The Nation and New Republic. Kirchwey was the most hesitant, and both attempts to merge failed. The two magazines would later take very different paths, with The Nation having a higher circulation and The New Republic moving more to the right. [7]

Mission

According to The Nation's founding prospectus of 1865, "The Nation will not be the organ of any party, sect, or body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration and misrepresentation by which so much of the political writing of the day is marred. "
