“Who are we?

Prospect is the UK’s outstanding monthly current affairs title—a home for fine writing, robust debate and considered reflection on the biggest issues of our time. Prospect has always been politically independent, with no party-political affiliation or agenda. It is owned and supported by the Resolution Group as part of its not-for-profit, public interest activities.

What does our journalism feature?

Edited by former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, we publish in print; on our website and app; and through our newsletters, podcasts and events. Our in-depth journalism spans politics, science, foreign affairs, economics, climate and the environment, philosophy and the arts.”
