Guys on the ground

Guys on the Ground are the Republic’s correspondents. Not correspondents in the narrow newspaper sense, but people who act as thoughtful observers and cultural scouts, worldwide. Something old-fashioned in the best sense: human judgement, cultural observation, serious taste, and local knowledge.

These correspondents help cultivate material, identify interesting people, recommend books, music, places, and trends, and bring back observations from wherever they are. Over time, this will become more than a publication. It will become a living network of serious people in serious places, connected by curiosity, judgment, and a shared distaste for the noise.
