2024 Wrapped: The Political Prism Publication
Balanced, thoughtful perspectives work
Donald Trump was elected the 47th President of the United States, western liberalism took some punches, and autocracies around the world thrived, with the major exception of al-Assad losing power in Syria. In short, there was a vast amount of material to write about and discuss here at The Political Prism in 2024.
As noted in our Submission Guidelines, I started the publication to promote a diversity of political viewpoints on Medium. My goal was to create a community of thoughtful writers and readers who engage in good faith and substantive debate on political and legal issues.
In 2024, I think it’s safe to say we achieved that goal. I started the publication with little fanfare in August 2023 as the legal cases against Donald Trump were ramping up. While I mainly published my own stories in the beginning, I experimented with contacting other political writers who appeared to be serious about the craft.
Big shout-outs to some of our earliest writers who gave the publication a chance even when we had almost no followers: Colby Hess, Alexander Ziperovich, and Kristina Etter had some of our earliest and biggest stories. Follow them!
