The Progressive is a left-leaning American magazine and website covering politics and culture. Founded in 1909 by U.S. senator Robert M. La Follette Sr. and co-edited with his wife Belle Case La Follette, it was originally called La Follette's Weekly and then La Follette's.[1] In 1929, it was recapitalized and had its name changed to The Progressive.[1][2][3] For a period, The Progressive was co-owned by La Follette family and William Evjue's newspaper The Capital Times.[3] Its headquarters are in Madison, Wisconsin.[4]
The publication covers civil rights and civil liberties-related topics, immigrant issues, environmentalism, criminal justice reform, and democratic reform.[5] Its current acting and managing editor is David Boddiger.[6] Previous editors included La Follette Sr., Belle Case La Follette, their son Robert Jr., William Evjue, Morris Rubin, Erwin Knoll, Matthew Rothschild, Bill Lueders and Ruth Conniff.
