Organization board


The current chairman is Stephen J. Adler, who also serves as editor in chief for Reuters.

The preceding chairman of the magazine was Victor Navasky, a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and former editor and publisher of the politically progressive The Nation. According to Executive Editor Michael Hoyt, Navasky's role is "99% financial" and "he doesn't push anything editorially." Hoyt also has stated that Navasky has "learned how to receive a small magazine of ideas into the black, and he's trying to come up with some strategies for us."
