Company Profile

Company Description:

The American Prospect is a respected and influential nonprofit media organization dedicated to driving narrative around the day's most important issues, informing and engaging the public, and inspiring smart, just policy. We produce stories and analysis that help address the pressing social and economic injustices of our time and that reveal how public policy affects the lives of ordinary citizens. In a media environment often characterized by sensationalism, misinformation and short-term thinking, The American Prospect brings thoughtful and reliable analysis together with new reporting from around the country. We help to dispel myths, challenge conventional wisdom, and expand dialogue.
 
Since its launch in 1990, The American Prospect has consistently published some of the most insightful and influential progressive policy analysis in the country. The Prospect's founders understood that growing inequality, impediments to social mobility, and the erosion of the middle class were upending society and threatening the American Dream. They sought, and we continue to seek, to bring the power of great journalism to bear on reversing those trends. Over the years, using the tools of reporting, investigation, data visualization, progressive analysis, and new media forms, The American Prospect has built a dedicated readership of opinion shapers and engaged citizens.
