Editorially, Inc. Magazine rarely publishes opinion pieces. However, they publish advice pieces such as 10 Things to Say Instead of Good Job. When reporting on politics, Inc. Magazine generally reports directly and factually. However, some articles are slightly negative toward the former Trump administration, such as this: President Trump Tried to Take Credit for Apple’s Mac Pro Manufacturing Plant.
