About

In 1989, The Spectator was founded as the conservative newsmagazine of Washington and Lee University, seeking to illuminate the truth about campus issues and often challenging the illiberal policies of the administration. After some time however, The Spectator ceased printing. It was revived in the Fall of 2013 and as of Fall 2022, prints bi-semester publications and occasional stand-alone pieces.

We also expanded the purview of The Spectator with news, opinion, and academic sections each edition, and have opened up to alumni and parent publications.
