The current chairman is Stephen J. Adler, previously editor-in-chief at Reuters from 2011 to 2021.
The previous chairman of the magazine was Victor Navasky, a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and former editor and publisher of the politically progressive The Nation. According to Executive Editor Michael Hoyt, Navasky’s role is “99% financial” and “he doesn’t push anything editorially.” Hoyt also has stated that Navasky has “learned how to get a small magazine of ideas into the black, and he’s trying to come up with some strategies for us.”[4]
