Commonweal is an independent journal of religion, politics, and culture edited by Catholic laypeople that inspires readers to seek a more just and inclusive future for our church and society. Approaching its one hundredth year of publication, Commonweal remains committed to its tradition of critical thinking, clear writing, and journalistic excellence. It is published in print eleven times a year, with a combined July/August issue, and is read by a highly educated audience of 20,000; the website, updated daily with new stories, averages a quarter-million page views per month. Through its publishing work in multiple media and its conversation-oriented events, Commonweal leads rigorous discussions about faith and conscience, all centered on the primacy of the common good. A robust social-media presence, popular email newsletter, and twice-monthly podcast complement Commonweal’s editorial content.
