about
PopPolitics covers the politics of pop culture as well as the pop culture in our politics. Our original mission statement can be read here.
Founded in 2000 as an online magazine, PopPolitics articles have been republished in online publications and newspapers across the country.
In 2004, PopPolitics started publishing chiefly as a blog. Today our blog entries are often featured on AlterNet’s blog Peek, among other sites, and our contributors write for multiple publications.
PopPolitics magazine continues to publish longer-form articles and essays. Submission information and writers guidelines are available here.
Contact information for writers can be found in the contributors section.

kudos & reviews
In 2002, the Chicago Tribune included PopPolitics in its look at Chicago-based websites:
“[A] local production … and quite an impressive one at that; a consistently interesting site that examines the intersection of popular culture and politics — and I guess that’s as good an excuse as any to feature The Songs of Enron, among other, generally more serious, well-considered material.”
PopPolitics has also appeared on the following sites:
“Ambitious and high-minded …”
Yahoo Picks of the Week
“Worth a visit, even a bookmark”
Political Site of the Day
“More like Salon than George …”
The Scout Report for Social Sciences listed PopPolitics as a learning resource
“This site has perhaps the most creative pay scale going.”
