About

"Young men and young women, full of courage, originality, and genius, are everywhere to be met with."

-Frank Crowninshield

Ethos

Thoroughbreds is an independent magazine publishing interviews and investigations at the crossroads of introspection and performance. We're made for the curious, kind, and amused. This is a magazine for people who want to think; about power, persuasion, and what it means to be human in uncertain times. Our conversations examine today's fascination with parasociality, digital selfhood, and influence. We evenhandedly feature personalities from different classes, races, and gender identities (as long as they are brilliant, novel, talented, or especially spirited).

Editorial Standards and Practices

Our journalists are held to the highest standards of accuracy as they work to thoughtfully expand and illuminate the subjects they cover. Thoroughbreds encourages its contributors to offer readers an informed perspective that is competent, kind, and decisive. Always entertaining, observant, and fair, our work approaches every subject with nuance and empathy. All original reporting is fact-checked, copyedited, and subject to legal review prior to publication.
