What is The New Outlook?
The New Outlook exists to reinvigorate the American spirit.
Our precursor, The Outlook, was more than a magazine. It was where Theodore Roosevelt himself — as an associate editor — shared his commentary and connected the ambitions of leadership to the lives of ordinary Americans.
That tradition didn’t disappear. It just needs rediscovering.
We believe America can win. We believe its best days are ahead, not behind. And we believe the only path there runs through serious people, serious ideas, and decisive, principled leadership that is unapologetically optimistic about what this country is capable of.
Our contributors won’t always agree with each other, or with us. That’s the point. A movement that lasts beyond the moment isn’t built on unanimous agreement. It’s built on honest argument, moral seriousness, and the willingness to build something better.
The years ahead will demand all of that and more.
We’re here to help build it.
What we publish
Like the broadsheets and journals of Roosevelt’s era, The New Outlook is organized into departments:
Commentary — Sharp, timely opinion on the news that matters: the courts, the Congress, the economy, and the fights worth having.
Editorials — Where The New Outlook speaks in its own voice.
Essays — Long-form argument and reflection.
Dispatches — Reporting, interviews, and writing from the field.
Appraisals — Reviews and criticism: books, film, music, and the state of American culture.
Letters — Original fiction and verse.
Our coverage runs across politics, the economy, energy, technology, culture, and America’s place in the world.
What you’ll get
New essays, commentary, and features publish throughout the week.
Subscribing is free. Every subscriber gets every department; you can adjust which emails you receive at any time in your subscription settings.
Who we are
The New Outlook is published by the Bull Moose Institute, an organization dedicated to a dominant American future — one built on reindustrialization, fair competition, national strength, and the revitalization of the American Dream.
