Harvard Magazine is one of the only editorially independent alumni magazines in the country. Founded by alumni more than a century ago, the magazine is published six times a year by a separately incorporated nonprofit affiliate of Harvard University. Harvard Magazine has excellent access to University news and news sources, but is written, edited, and produced—like any independent news medium—with readers' interests foremost in mind. That is to say, the magazine is not published with the aim of promoting financial donations to the University. The magazine balances intellectual substance with human interest, educating and entertaining readers with insightful reporting in the fields of business management, economics, the arts, literature, technology, medicine, current events, and the social sciences taking place at the University—one of the premier research and teaching institutions in the world. Harvard Magazine is the only Harvard publication distributed to all University alumni, including those of Harvard College, Harvard Business School, Harvard Medical School, Harvard Law School, the Graduate School of Design, the Kennedy School of Government, and all other Harvard graduate and professional schools­–as well as University faculty, and staff.
