OUR COMMITMENT
Founded in 1967, The American Spectator foundation has been bringing quality journalism to the forefront of the national political conversation. Throughout the years, its writers have included renowned scholars and thought leaders such as Thomas Sowell, Tom Wolfe, P.J. O’Rourke, George F. Will, Patrick J. Buchanan, Malcolm Muggeridge, and its founder, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. Each month its writings reach tens of thousands of readers.
Through its publication, The American Spectator Foundation seeks to educate the public on new ideas and policies that favor traditional American values, such as economic freedom, individual liberty, self-sufficiency, and limited government. To this end, the Foundation also trains and cultivates young writers for careers in journalism and serves as an outlet for a host of both young and established conservative writers and thinkers.If you are interested in interning at The American Spectator through the Young Writers Program, please contact cravottal@spectator.org.
