The Brown Political Review (BPR) is a quarterly, student-run political magazine and website at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. It covers the politics of regional, domestic and international affairs, the political culture and dialogue at Brown and the ongoing state of political journalism in the United States. BPR is managed and edited by undergraduate students of Brown University, and features writing from staff contributors and submissions from the Brown community. The magazine also features original interviews and media productions, as well as student artwork from Brown and the nearby Rhode Island School of Design. It is sponsored by Brown University’s Political Theory Project. Background Founding The magazine was founded in 2012 by Brown undergraduates. It receives financial sponsorship from the Political Theory Project, an interdisciplinary think tank at Brown that has attracted criticism for acceptance of gifts from conservative foundations. The magazine was conceived as a destination for political news analysis, emphasizing strength of argument and well crafted reporting over partisan status or ideology. Present The magazine features the original writing and reporting of students at Brown. Staff writers and columnists contribute daily to BrownPoliticalReview.org, while a quarterly print edition features articles developed through student pitches selected anonymously by BPRs editorial board. The magazine is also known for its extensive interviews section featuring notable political figures including World Bank President Jim Yong Kim; Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform; former governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean; Tom Donohue, CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and numerous senators and governors. The magazine has also interviewed prominent journalists, including Arianna Huffington, Ezra Klein, Tucker Carlson, David Frum, Sebastian Junger and Josh Marshall. BPR's filmed feature interviews include Governor Lincoln Chafee and MSNBC's Chris Hayes. In October 2013, BPR hosted its first alumni panel in conjunction with Brown University, titled "Investigative Journalism in the Age of Polarization." The panel featured journalists Chris Hayes, David Rohde, and Dana Goldstein. In 2018, BPR started a radio podcast that publishes regularly on SoundCloud and iTunes.
