Summary

Jacobin is a U.S.-based magazine that describes itself as a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture and predominantly publishes analysis and opinion pieces. Per WP:RSEDITORIAL, editors should prefer citing straight news over citing such pieces whenever possible and take care to adhere to the neutral point of view policy, for example by quoting and attributing statements that present its authors' opinions and by ensuring that due weight is given to Jacobin's perspective amongst others'. Information from Jacobin not covered under RSEDITORIAL is considered generally reliable albeit WP:BIASED, while the reliability of articles authored by Branko Marcetic has been considered questionable.
