Foreign Policy

Foreign Policy was founded in late 1970 by Samuel P. Huntington, professor of Harvard University, and his friend Warren Demian Manshel to give a voice to alternative views about American foreign policy at the time of the Vietnam War.{{cite web |title=100 Years of Impact: A Timeline of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace |url=http://carnegieendowment.org/about/timeline100/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110106094350/http://carnegieendowment.org/about/timeline100/index.html |archive-date=January 6, 2011 |access-date=22 April 2015 |newspaper=Carnegie Endowment for International Peace}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Huntington hoped it would be "serious but not scholarly, lively but not glib".{{cite news |last=Yester |first=Katherine |title=Samuel Huntington, 1927–2008 |url=https://foreignpolicy.com/articles/2009/02/16/samuel_huntington_1927_2008 |access-date=13 September 2014 |newspaper=Foreign Policy |date=16 February 2009 |archive-date=10 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120610045457/http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2009/02/16/samuel_huntington_1927_2008 |url-status=dead }}

In early 1978, after six years of close partnership, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace acquired full ownership of Foreign Policy. In 2000, a format change was implemented from a slim quarterly academic journal to a bimonthly magazine. It also launched international editions in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.

In September 2008, Foreign Policy was bought by The Washington Post Company (now Graham Holdings Company).{{cite news |last=Ahrens |first=Frank |title= Post Co.

According to its submission guidelines, Foreign Policy articles "strike the balance" between informed specialist research and general readability, and tend to be written in plain rather than "wonky" language.{{cite web |url= https://foreignpolicy.submittable.com/submit|title= Submissions|author= |website= Foreign Policy|access-date= 28 November 2018}}

Foreign Policy endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election. This was the first time in its 50-year history the magazine endorsed a candidate.{{cite news |url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/10/09/foreign-policy-endorses-hillary-clinton-for-president-of-the-united-states/ |title=Hillary Clinton for President of the United States |date=October 9, 2016}}

Since 2003, Foreign Policy has been nominated for eight National Magazine Awards, winning six: three for its print publication and three for its digital publication at ForeignPolicy.com. FP is the only independent magazine that has won consecutive digital national magazine awards every year from being established in 2009.{{Citation needed|date=December 2015}}
