Belt Magazine is a digital nonprofit news organization that covers the Rust Belt and the American Midwest.[1] It was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2013 by Anne Trubek, and is published by the Belt Media Collaborative.[2] According to the magazine's website, Belt is "dedicated to publishing thoughtful, nuanced writing about the past, present, and future of the region."[3] The magazine has received praise for its coverage of the Rust Belt from several media outlets.[4] American Prospect described Belt in 2014 as "the nation's new literary darling," praising the magazine's coverage of the industrial Midwest.[5] The magazine's coverage of the 2016 Republican National Convention was reprinted in The Atlantic.[6] The similarly named Belt Publishing, which publishes book-length works on the Rust Belt, shares historical origins with the magazine and many of the same writers have published with both, but the entities are legally separate and distinct.[7]
