Dear colleagues, contributors, readers, and friends:
Change is coming to THE WEEKLY STANDARD!
After 21 years as editor, I’m very pleased to announce that I’m moving over to become editor at large and that my longtime colleagues Steve Hayes and Richard Starr have agreed to take on the responsibility for day-to-day management of the magazine. I’m thoroughly looking forward to the welcome opportunity to work on longer pieces while continuing to write weekly editorials and contribute to the website. With Steve and Richard at the helm, the magazine couldn’t be in better hands.
I thank all of you—colleagues, contributors, readers, and friends—who’ve made my stint as editor of THE WEEKLY STANDARD such a great experience. When we started the magazine in 1995, we hoped we’d last a while. It’s gratifying that we’re still going strong a generation later, and I appreciate more than I can say the efforts of all those who’ve made this possible.
Onward.
Bill Kristol
