## About

Inside the foreign-policy establishment, Foreign Affairs is less a magazine than a meeting room where strategy gets argued in long form. Published by the Council on Foreign Relations since 1922, it sets the terms of debate on China, Russia and American power through essays that policymakers actually read. Its authority is also its limit: the consensus it convenes can read as the worldview of the very establishment it covers.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Published by the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonpartisan US membership think tank, which states the magazine is editorially independent.
- **Funding:** Subscriptions and newsstand sales, plus institutional support from its publisher.
- **Focus areas:** International relations, foreign policy, geopolitics, and long-form essays.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
