The New Guard Magazine

The New Guard is the official publication of Young Americans for Freedom.

Founded in March 1961, one year after the creation of YAF, its first issue appeared under the editorship of Lee Edwards. Starting out as a sixteen page publication it grew in size and continued as a monthly magazine until 1978 when it was converted to a quarterly magazine. 

In 2010 The New Guard was relaunched at CPAC 2010. Under the guidance of The New Guard's current Executive Editor, Christopher Bedford, YAF gathered a group of writers, editors and artists to re-found The New Guard. The re-launch came 49 years after it first stood up against a liberal elite that believed conservatism was dead and socialism was king.

Currently The New Guard is handed out to thousands of young conservatives across the country.
