JUMP CUT
A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY MEDIA

1. First Things is an ecumenical monthly founded by the Roman Catholic theologian Richard John Neuhaus which describes itself:

“published by The Institute on Religion and Public Life, an interreligious, nonpartisan research and education institute whose purpose is to advance a religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society.”

It generally tacks right in policy matters, and the website brings up lots of ads for Roman Catholic institutions and projects. The article was available free during a short window in the spring. Today it is available with a subscription ($39) or a one-day online pass ($2.50). How much of the 2.50 goes back to White isn’t clear. [return to text]
