Spectator Magazine

Issue : 27 July 2024

The Spectator is a weekly British magazine with an impressive print-heritage. First published in 1828, it is the oldest weekly magazine in the world. Owned by Frederick Barclay, who also owns The Daily Telegraph, it assembles detailed coverage of politics, culture, and current affairs. The Spectator proudly declares that their writers have no party line, and instead emphasises a commitment to clear, concise, independent journalism and thought-pieces. The Spectator features in each weekly issue an abundance of writing talent from the likes of Hugo Rifkind and Christopher Booker, shown off in thought-provoking comment and opinion columns, articles on domestic and international politics, economics and society. The Spectator also reviews a large number of books and looks at the recent art scene, covering exhibitions, cinema, theatre, radio and television.
