The Spectator was established in 1828, and is the oldest continuously published magazine in the English language. The Spectator's taste for controversy, however, remains undiminished. There is no party line to which our writers are bound - originality of thought and elegance of expression are the sole editorial constraints. The result, week after week, is that the best British journalists, critics, authors and cartoonists turn out their best work for the magazine, to produce an extraordinarily wide-ranging title.

Our longevity does not preclude us from the new publishing technologies available today. We have teamed up with Whateverware in an exciting new venture that see's the magazine available in a variety of mobile formats.

We hope you have as much pleasure reading us on these mediums as the many thousands have reading the magazine over the years.
