The Washington Spectator is a left-leaning independent political periodical with a circulation of 60,000, published bimonthly by the Public Concern Foundation. It was founded by Tristram Coffin in 1971 as Washington Watch,[1] and became The Washington Spectator in 1974.[2] Coffin remained editor until 1993.[3] Generally, every issue covers a single topic—most often, one that its editors believe is not receiving sufficient coverage in the mainstream media outlets.[citation needed] Since the COVID pandemic began in 2020, it has published its issues online-only.[4]
