## What is New Republic?

Since 1914, TNR has been a platform for public-minded thinkers and writers advocating liberal reform in a new industrial age. Today, TNR remains more committed than ever to its social democratic first principles—and most of all, to the project of restoring flagging liberal confidence in the public arena while reclaiming the embattled legacy of civic republican self-rule in America. Our journalism isn’t afraid to debate complex issues and take a stance—from social injustice to climate change.

### 5/5 — Historians as Pundits

*2026-07-27, version 25.0*

I absolutely love The New Republic's manifold, occasionally controversial articles. This weekend's analysis--a near Op.Ed.--on the elite class of liberal, left of center historians apparently hijacking we leftists on what the (still unfinished) 250 year project of America actually means caught my attention. 

Is the piece a slur on public intellectuals such as Tim Snyder and Heather Cox Richardson (the latter putatively has 3 million subscribes on Substack)? To me Snyder is a god-send in this era's upending of the supposed virtues of the founding of the republic vision of democracy of America. Snyder's open, often free lectures to his students at the University of Toronto, on what history does or does not actually mean--and pragmatically reveals in order to understand--is a gift.

At least to me and thousands of other readers, though nowhere near the height of Cox Richardson.

The NR's major question--an enigmatic dilemma?--seems encapsulated in the phrase that comes to me after reading: does history even matter today in an era of the systemic dismantling of our democracy's institutional safeguards"? 

My 2022 book boldly yet perhaps wrongly suggests a new re-written understanding of the buried dark underbelly of America has now been exposed for what we as a nation of freedom lovers were led to believe; the United States of America is UN-United, and always wars since the beginning of the Civil War; and prior to that as the self freed slave, the non-historian Frederick Douglas incisive narrative reveals: the treatment of African slaves and their descendants in our country were caricatured if not legally classified, as real estate."

A complex read indeed, albeit a bit troubling.

### 2/5 — Nearly impossible to login with email address

*2026-06-30, version 25.0*

I subscribe to the magazine and am supposed to have digital access too. But this app won’t allow me to log in to read daily stories. Fix this or lose a subscriber.

### 2/5 — Some big functionality issues

*2026-04-22, version 25.0*

The app description says $10.99 annually, but in the app it’s $34.99

Sign in is also broken for me, and emailing the support address given sends an auto reply that tells me I emailed the wrong address, although they address they tell me to email is the one I emailed

### 1/5 — App will not let me log in

*2026-04-10, version 25.0*

I am a subscriber and have tried multiple times to log in and it has failed EVERY time. I have tried contacting support and get no help. Fix this or give me my money back.

### 3/5 — Great content

*2026-02-02, version 25.0*

Have enjoyed reading National Review for years. I thought that the app would enhance my experience. Prefer the website.

### 5/5 — Awesome News

*2026-01-17, version 25.0*

The Best place to get fact based news.

### 3/5 — Headlines

*2025-12-23, version 25.0*

I love the content, but the headlines are formatted so that you can only see the first few words and often you don’t really know what the article is about. That’s the only reason I gave it three stars instead of five.

### 5/5 — Superb application

*2025-10-09, version 25.0*

It’s easy to navigate. Articles are categorized well and easy to find. The journalism is thorough and accurate.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-07-11, version 25.0*

This app is terrible! When I click on “open’ I get “subscription help” but none of the options allows me to renew my subscription. If I opt out of “subscription help” I am redirected to “open” where I can only open to subscription help where I can’t get help with my subscription!

### 5/5 — Informative & Honest

*2025-06-11, version 25.0*

Really good writing. I appreciate the honesty and well written reporting and opinions.
