Reason magazine:
Reason is a libertarian monthly magazine from the Reason Foundation.
Reason was founded in 1968 by Lanny Friedlander as a more-or-less monthly 
mimeographed publication. In 1970 it was purchased by Robert W. Poole, Manuel S. 
Klausner, and Tibor R. Machan , who set it on a more regular publishing 
schedule. As the monthly print magazine of "free minds and free markets", it covers 
politics, culture, and ideas with a mix of news, analysis, commentary, and 
reviews.
Matt Welch has been the magazine's editor-in-chief since 2008. Other Reason 
writers include Jacob Sullum, Jesse Walker, Brian Doherty, Ronald Bailey, 
Radley Balko, Tim Cavanaugh, Kerry Howley, David Weigel, Katherine Mangu-Ward, 
Michael C. Moynihan, Damon Root, Greg Beato, Cathy Young, Jonathan Rauch, and 
cartoonist Peter Bagge. Former editors include Nick Gillespie, Marty Zupan, and 
Virginia Postrel.
Erik Spiekermann, the inventor of the typeface Meta, headed a redesign of 
Reason in 2001, aiming for a look that is "cleaner, more modern, making use of 
the Meta typeface throughout".
In June 2004, subscribers to Reason magazine received a personalized issue 
that had their name, and a satellite photo of their home or workplace on the 
cover.
The magazine has a circulation of around 60,000 and has twice been named one 
of the "50 best magazines" by the Chicago Tribune.[1]
In 2008, Reason's web site, reason.com, was named a Webby Award Honoree in 
the magazine category.[2]

Hit and Run

>From Wikipedia

Hit & Run is Reason's group blog. It is maintained and written by the staff 
of the magazine. It was started in 2002. Former Reason Editor-in-Chief Nick 
Gillespie and Reason Web Editor Tim Cavanaugh, both veterans of Suck.com , 
modeled the blog in some ways after that website: they brought along several other 
Suck.com writers to contribute, fostered a style in the blog matching that 
former website's sarcastic attitude, and even the name "Hit & Run" was taken from 
what had been a weekly news roundup column on Suck.com. The Reason editors 
referred to this co-opting of the former website as the "Suck-ification of 
Reason."[3]
In 2005, Hit & Run was named as one of the best political blogs by 
Playboy.[4]
