Berkeley Political Review was founded in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks by U.C. Berkeley students who wanted to offer a source of impartial analysis on important issues. Since then, BPR has covered four presidential elections, the invasion of Iraq, the Great Recession, the expansion of the EU, Fracking, the Snowden Leaks, North Korea, Brexit, and everything in between. 16 years later, BPR remains the only nonpartisan journal on Berkeley's campus, committed to analyzing facts above all else.
