Analysis / Bias
Nonprofit Quarterly has a left-leaning bias in its reporting and commentary, often focusing on progressive and social justice issues. The publication uses moderate to highly emotional language and frequently covers economic inequality, racial justice, and nonprofit sector challenges. For example, the article “Through a Black Gaze: How Black Women Leaders Treat Each Other Matters” exemplifies Nonprofit Quarterly’s left-leaning bias. It discusses racial justice and the social dynamics of Black women in leadership, using emotional language and citing sources such as Essence and Textio. This aligns with NPQ’s emphasis on progressive and social justice issues.
Another example is the focus on the environment. In the article “Turkey’s Potential to Lead EU Decarbonization,” NPQ discusses Turkey’s role in leading EU decarbonization efforts. This focus on environmental policies is progressive since Progressive platforms often prioritize environmental policies, such as climate change action, renewable energy, and sustainability. These topics align with broader social and economic justice goals central to progressive ideology.
Lastly, “Juneteenth’s Opal Lee and the Ongoing Fight for Freedom” covers the story of Opal Lee and her efforts to make Juneteenth a national holiday. This article emphasizes racial justice and historical recognition, aligning with NPQ’s commitment to social justice issues. It uses emotionally loaded language to emphasize the importance of the fight for freedom and equality, citing sources such as the National Archives, CNN, D Magazine, CBC, and the Smithsonian.
