About Prospect magazine

Prospect is an independent and authoritative monthly magazine publishing thoughtful debates and in-depth analysis on current affairs, the economy, politics and culture to understand our changing world.

“In an era where politics swiftly descends into chaos, Prospect restores order through the power of argument and analysis.”
Cathy Newman, Channel 4 News presenter

It’s no secret that modern journalism is in danger of becoming a hamster wheel. A monthly magazine allows for a different rhythm. Under editor Alan Rusbridger, Prospect is a cradle of ideas, reflective writing and thoughtful debate. If information today can feel like a cacophony, Prospect feels like a still voice of calm and a melting pot of ideas. Prospect is politically independent with writing that challenges you and lets you make up your own mind. As well as articles on the economy, politics, current affairs and books, Prospect magazine features diverse lifestyle and interest pieces on culture, science, philosophy and the arts.

With a subscription to Prospect, you’ll also get access to the full Prospect website archive, with every column, piece of content and debate since the launch of the magazine in 1995.

Prospect is published 10 times per year, which includes two double issues: the Summer Special and the Winter Special.
