Reason magazine is a leading libertarian monthly magazine from the Reason Foundation.
Reason was founded in 1968 by Lanny Friedlander as a more-or-less monthly mimeographed publication. In 1970 it was purchased by Robert W. Poole, Manuel S. Klausner, and Tibor R. Machan, who set it on a more regular publishing schedule. As the monthly print magazine of "free minds and free markets", it covers politics, culture, and ideas with a mix of news, analysis, commentary, and reviews.
Nick Gillespie has been the magazine's Editor-in-Chief since 2000. Other Reason writers include Charles Paul Freund, Jacob Sullum, Jesse Walker, Brian Doherty, Ronald Bailey, Tim Cavanaugh, Julian Sanchez, Kerry Howley, David Weigel, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Cathy Young, Jonathan Rauch, and cartoonist Peter Bagge. Former editors include Marty Zupan and Virginia Postrel.
Erik Spiekermann, the inventor of the typeface Meta, made a redesign of Reason in 2001, aiming for a look "cleaner, more modern, making use of the Meta typeface throughout".
In June 2004, subscribers to Reason magazine received a personalized issue that had their name, and a satellite photo of their home or workplace on the cover.
The magazine now has a circulation of around 60,000 and has twice been named one of the country's "50 best magazines" by the Chicago Tribune[1]. In addition, since December of 2002 the magazine's website has hosted a popular blog, Hit & Run, with many Reason writers as contributors.
