American Spectator had its origin in Indiana in 1972 where it began as The Alternative.
By 1977 it became known as The American Spectator, with a conservative perspective as
an alternative to the radicalism of the 60's. From Supreme Court appointee coverage of
Clarence Thomas, to Clinton administration dalliances, the journal has always been willing
to tackle controversy with a wit and edge not found in other journals. It is published out of
Washington, D.C. and continues its leading conservative political ideology.
Commonweal The Commonweal (shortened to Commonweal in 1965) is the oldest
independent Catholic journal of opinion in the United States . Founded in 1924 by Michael
Williams, its goal was to be a weekly review "expressive of the Catholic note" in covering
literature, the arts, religion, society, and politics. Never bound by a strict ideology,
Commonweal ("the common good") became a forum for thoughtful, urbane discussion,
largely from a liberal, reformist point of view, and has had a
distinguished roster of editors and writers.
