Bearing Drift to launch Virginia political magazine
By JR Hoeft | Sunday, March 7th, 2010 | MultimediaBearing Drift, Virginia’s home for conservative news and information, will begin publishing a magazine to complement its already outstanding coverage of Virginia politics.
To start in that direction, we’ll begin with a monthly newsletter of our best and most exclusive content – including this month an interview with Governor Bob McDonnell, an analysis on health care and offshore wind energy production, biographical sketches of some freshmen legislators, and Ward Smythe’s original political cartoons.
You can sign-up to receive this newsletter by email. (Check out the sidebar on the right to sign up.)
We’re also looking for anyone who is willing to support the effort with original reporting or content. If you are interested in writing an article for an upcoming issue, please let me know at jr@bearingdrift.com.
Finally, if you want to financially support our goal of providing conservative perspective to issues in Virginia, please consider leaving a donation here.
Again, be sure to sign up for the newsletter on the sidebar and I hope you enjoy the first “issue”! Thanks!
Update: You can also join our “Bearing Drift Insiders” page on Facebook to receive a subscription.

Excellent idea! I look forward to reading the first issue and will be glad to offer perspective as a current School Board Member here in Portsmouth on eduational issues here in Hampton Roads.
I can’t think of a better bunch to launch this project than you guys. Good luck.
So this is an online magazine? A Virginia-centric, conservative leaning “Slate?” The word “publish” sometimes confuses us old people, because it calls to mind the “dead-tree” media.
Steve – if we can raise the capital, in time, this will also be print. Right now, it will begin as an “e-Zine”.
JR-That would be great. Good luck. I can tell you that it’s tough times out here for the print media.
