:''See Hamilton Fish (disambiguation) for others with the same name'' Hamilton Fish (born September 5, 1952) (also known as Hamilton Fish V, Hamilton Fish, Jr., or "Ham") is a publisher, social entrepreneur, environmental advocate, and film producer in New York City. He was born in Washington, D.C. to Hamilton and Julia MacKenzie Fish. He attended schools in New York City and Massachusetts, where he graduated from Harvard University in 1973. He is currently the publisher and editorial director of the monthly independent political periodical, ''The Washington Spectator'', edited by Lou Dubose.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About WS )〕 == ''The Nation'' == Fish is perhaps best known for his work revitalizing ''The Nation'' magazine, and its sister foundation, the Nation Institute. In 1977, Fish teamed up with Victor Navasky and began the work of recruiting investors to acquire ''The Nation''. Together with the help of a group of limited partners that included E.L. Doctorow, Norman Lear, Alan Sagner, and Dorothy Schiff, Fish and Navasky began a decade-long partnership as Publisher and Editor of the country's oldest political weekly. During their stewardship, ''The Nation'' experienced steady growth, modernized its publishing operation, prospered in many respects during the Ronald Reagan years, and caused a measure of mayhem worthy of an independent political journal. The magazine waged an honorable if lonely battle over the history of the Cold War, lost a landmark lawsuit〔http://supreme.justia.com/us/471/539/case.html〕 over the protection of copyright in the Supreme Court of the United States, and convened large scale conferences including the 1981 Writers' Congress, which examined the status of writers and their representation (and spawned the National Writers Union); as well as the Dialogo de Todas Las Americas,〔http://articles.latimes.com/1985-05-15/news/vw-8743_1_american-writers〕 to establish a cultural and political discourse between north and south as a counter to the interventionist doctrine of the Reagan years. In 1987, Fish transferred his interest in the magazine to Arthur Carter, a New York investor who had started the ''Litchfield County Times'' and who succeeded Mr. Fish as ''The Nation's'' Publisher. From 1995 to 2009 Fish served as President of The Nation Institute, the foundation associated with ''The Nation'' magazine. With support from donors including the Lannan Foundation and Paul Newman, he developed a journalism fellowship program to provide support for progressive writers, a roster that would eventually include Eric Alterman, Max Blumenthal, Tom Engelhardt, Chris Hedges, Scott Horton, Naomi Klein, Katha Pollitt, Jeremy Scahill, and Jonathan Schell. He also created the Alfred Knobler Fellowships, named for a benefactor and longtime friend of ''The Nation'', specifically to support journalists of color. Recipients have included Pamela Newkirk, New York University Journalism Professor and author; Gary Younge, the US-based columnist for ''The Guardian'' and ''The Nation''; and Ta-Nehisi Coates, author, blogger, and senior editor for ''The Atlantic''. With the help of the Lear Foundation, the Lannan Foundation, and the Puffin Foundation, Fish created an investigative journalism division to fund and oversee long-form investigative projects that were usually too expensive for independent publications to undertake; with Tom Engelhardt he developed tomdispatch.com http://www.tomdispatch.com/, an important source of progressive commentary on the web; with Randy Fertel he developed the Ridenhour Prizes, which annually recognize whistleblowers, investigative reporters, and others who persevere in courageous acts of truth-telling; and with Victor Navasky he founded Nation Books, which under Editor Carl Bromley and in association first with Avalon and then Perseus Books, grew into a leading independent non-fiction imprint. During these years, Fish also worked as a political advisor to George Soros, and with Jeffrey Kusama-Hinte he helped to develop a lobbying effort on behalf of U.S. support for the International Criminal Court, an initiative which President Bill Clinton endorsed on the last day of December, 2000. In 2009 and 2010, Fish assisted Lewis H. Lapham with development of the literary magazine ''Lapham's Quarterly''. At the invitation of ''The Nation'' Editor Katrina vanden Heuvel, he is overseeing preparations for the celebration of ''The Nation's'' 150th anniversary in 2015, including the production of a feature documentary directed by Barbara Kopple. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamilton Fish V」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
