THE NATION magazine

THE NATION is a weekly journal of left/liberal opinion, covering national and international affairs as well as the arts. The editors run two types of news items: comments (approximately 750 words), which are brief analyses of news developments, e.g., a Supreme Court decision or a change of government in Mexico; and articles (typically 1500-2500 words), which combine reporting and analysis to provide in-depth looks at issues and investigative reports (usually 2000 to 6000 words). Payment: comment is $150; for an article $350-$500 depending on length. Payment for arts pieces is dependent on length; generally $225 and up.
