Liberty Watch

"Liberty Watch: The Magazine" is a Libertarian-minded publication based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Founded in March 2005, the magazine debuted its first issue in April 2005 with a cover story on the property-tax debate of the 2005 state legislature. Since then, the monthly periodical has featured several national figures on its covers, such as former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Vice President Dick Cheney and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. While its small-government and philosophical principles differ from those of these conservative politicians, "Liberty Watch: The Magazine" accesses locally produced avenues to obtain its content when figures such as the aforementioned conduct Nevada appearances.

The magazine is primarily subscription-based. Printed with, on average, 52 pages, "Liberty Watch: The Magazine" reaches targeted conservative districts and has more than 2,000 subscribers nation-wide. It falls under the direction of Liberty Media, LLC. Its owners include: George Harris, a Nevada-based small-business owner, treasurer of the Nevada Republican Party, and political consultant; Doug French, a vice president of a Nevada-based bank and 2005 recipient of the Murray N. Rothbard Award from the Center for Libertarian Studies; Mark Warden, a Libertarian activist and founder of Budget Watch Nevada; and Bob Beers, a state senator and Republican candidate for Nevada governor in the 2006 election. It is edited by communication professional and Las Vegas journalist Mike Zigler.
