For over 154 years, <em>The Nation<\/em> has seen political, economic, and cultural upheaval in America, but the ferocious drumbeat of the 2010s shaped a new media landscape: One defined by a 24\/7 news cycle, amplified and accelerated by social media, and compounded by the financial challenges facing a free press.<span>1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hindsight being 20\/20, there are common threads we can trace to this current cultural and political moment. The dual and growing forces of monopoly and inequality (which we shone a critical light on as far back as 2013 with our special issue, \u201cBloomberg\u2019s Gilded City\u201d) intensified over the decade. But so too did public support in favor of the issues and ideals our editors and readers have long held to be important: questions of racial justice and feminism, a fair economy that works for all, and enduring civil liberties, environmental sustainability, and peace and nuclear disarmament.<span>2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Looking back over the past 10 years, it\u2019s remarkable how many extraordinary contributions we\u2019ve published\u2014far more than we could include on any \u201cDecade in Review\u201d list. From longtime contributor Jonathan Schell\u2019s powerful warning about how in the wake of 9\/11, we have summoned up imaginary demons to spare ourselves from facing the all-too-real burdens of our time, to former national affairs correspondent William Greider\u2019s crystal clear analysis of the end of New Deal liberalism, to longtime contributor Stephen F. Cohen\u2019s prescient alert about the dangers of America\u2019s new Cold War with Russia, to groundbreaking investigative journalism, to environmental correspondent Mark Hertsgaard\u2019s pathbreaking articles about a global Green New Deal to bracing cultural commentary, to intelligent political analysis, there\u2019s much to celebrate from our fiercely independent journalism of the past 10 years\u2014and there is also much more work to do in the decade to come, as we continue to fight for a more radical and equitable future.<span>3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As I wrote in <em>The Nation<\/em>\u2019s 150th Anniversary issue, \u201cChange is inevitable, but the one constant in <em>The Nation<\/em>\u2019s history has been faith\u2014not in political parties or policies, but in what can happen when you tell people the truth. It is this notion that has sustained <em>The Nation<\/em> since its start: that and the idea that there are always alternatives\u2014in history, in politics, in life\u2014that would make our country and the world a more humane, just, and secure place.\u201d<span>4<\/span><\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Popular<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>&#8220;swipe left below to view more authors&#8221;<\/span>Swipe \u2192<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>Mr. Obama Goes to Washington<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                Mr. Obama Goes to Washington<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nFeature<br \/>\n<span><br \/>\n                            \/<br \/>\n                        <\/span><br \/>\nDavid Sirota <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>The Battle for Black Brooklyn<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                The Battle for Black Brooklyn<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nMark Winston Griffith <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>The War in 3 Quotes<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                The War in 3 Quotes<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nSteve Brodner <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>I Hope Iran Wins at the World Cup<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                I Hope Iran Wins at the World Cup<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nElie Mystal <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>The list of articles below, while not at all comprehensive, pulls together the threads of some of the best that was in our pages and our pixels\u2014much of it inspiring and prescient, and others, perhaps, less than prophetic. It is my hope that these collected articles give a glimmer of the best of our work, our abiding principles, and our impact seeding ideas that have expanded our national conversation and the terms of the debate. America in 2020 is at an inflection point, and <em>The Nation<\/em>\u2019s work will continue\u2014as it has in good, not-so-good, and bad times\u2014to offer alternative visions and ideas, and to inform today\u2019s roiling political debates\u2014as we strive to achieve that more perfect union.<span>5<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014<span>Katrina vanden Heuvel<\/span>, Editorial Director<\/em><span>6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Looking back at what Katrina and my colleagues here accomplished over the past decade is both daunting and inspiring. Daunting because it sets the bar extremely high\u2014not just in terms of journalistic impact, but in terms of editorial vision and courage and literary quality. As<em> The Nation<\/em>\u2019s biographer, I\u2019m well aware of our history, the canonical (and should-be canonical) writers who\u2019ve written for us, and our many decades of fighting for justice and liberation. But it is good to be reminded that despite all the pressures facing independent media, <em>The Nation<\/em> has consistently managed to keep our voice distinct, our principles clear, and our eyes on the prize. That\u2019s inspiring. And so too is the fact that while we\u2019ve lost some great talents, so many of those who wrote for us at the dawn of the 21st century are still contributors. With such a solid base to build on, I\u2019m excited about finding new voices, new writers, new stories\u2014and new ways to tell those stories\u2014in the years to come.<span>7<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014<span>D.D.
