== Summary ==
''Jacobin'' is a U.S.-based magazine that describes itself as a {{tq|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 [[WP:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] policy, for example by [[MOS:QUOTEPOV|quoting]] and [[WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV|attributing]] statements that present its authors' opinions and by ensuring that [[WP:DUE|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.
