Miller-McCune magazine

Miller-McCune is a nonpartisan magazine that uses the latest research from definitive sources to tackle today's most pressing questions about education, politics, the environment, economics, urban affairs, health care and more. Since its 2008 launch, Miller-McCune has won the Utne Independent Press Award 2009 for science/technology coverage and the 2008-09 Society of Environmental Journalists Award for Outstanding Explanatory Journalism, and been named one of Library Journal's “10 Best Magazines” in 2009 and MIN’s "Hottest Launches of 2008."

Miller-McCune is published bimonthly in print and continuously online at www.miller-mccune.com by the nonprofit Miller-McCune Center for Research, Media and Public Policy, headquartered in Santa Barbara, Calif. The magazine was founded Sara Miller McCune, an entrepreneur, philanthropist and feminist, who is perhaps most recognized for her role as founder and head of SAGE Publications, one of the world’s largest independent academic publishers.

Recent magazine features include A Mind of Crime: How brain-scanning technology is redefining criminal culpability; The World's Best Bad Idea, tackling the terrible (and promising) idea of putting carbon dioxide in the ocean; a 10,000-word article by Blow author Bruce Porter on Alaska's salmon industry; and The Real Science Gap, highlighting the lack of career opportunities for scientists.

In 2010, the magazine launched Miller-McCune LIVE, a special events program to bring articles to life through comprehensive debate featuring industry leaders. The first debate--on lobbying--took place in September in Washington, D.C. The second debate, in New York City in November, dug into the effects of social media on "real life" and ways to humanize the Internet.
