The good folks over at The Weekly Standard deserve a ton of credit for their fast work in relaunching a new publication, The Bulwark, in the aftermath of their untimely shuttering last month.
What follows will be mostly critical so I want to note up front that I really am pulling for them to make their project work long-term. All the praise heaped on TWS throughout December was deserved. It was a sharp magazine that routinely featured great feature writing and that regularly gave talented writers the freedom to use their talents well. That’s a rare thing in print media and I’m grateful for it whenever I see it. So let that be Note #1 on this new media venture: I like the people running it, admire their work, and hope it succeeds.

Mere Orthodoxy is (for me) a counterpoint to social media, a place of depth and critical thought.
