The writers at Merion West are academics, politicians, and activists from across the country. Although their individual backgrounds and political slants may differ, they are all similarly committed to delivering unique and thought-provoking analysis to their readers. Merion West is a uniquely centrist publication not because all of its writers label themselves as such; instead, the magazine is organized in such a fashion as to equally represent all main political alignments, including the Left, the Right, and the Hard Center.
