FOR OVER 100 YEARS, FOREIGN AFFAIRS HAS BEEN THE LEADING FORUM FOR SERIOUS DISCUSSION OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY AND GLOBAL AFFAIRS. IT IS NOW A MULTIPLATFORM MEDIA ORGANIZATION WITH A PRINT MAGAZINE, A WEBSITE, A MOBILE SITE, A PODCAST, APPS AND SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS. THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, FOREIGN AFFAIRS HAS STAYED TRUE TO ITS MISSION PUBLISHED IN THE FIRST ISSUE OF THE MAGAZINE IN 1922: "FOREIGN AFFAIRS WILL DEAL WITH QUESTIONS OF INTERNATIONAL INTEREST TODAY. THEY WILL COVER A BROAD RANGE OF SUBJECTS, NOT ONLY POLITICAL BUT HISTORICAL AND ECONOMIC. IN PURSUANCE OF ITS IDEALS FOREIGN AFFAIRS WILL NOT DEVOTE ITSELF TO THE SUPPORT OF ANY ONE CAUSE, HOWEVER WORTHY. LIKE THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS FROM WHICH IT HAS SPRUNG IT WILL TOLERATE WIDE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) ITS ARTICLES WILL NOT REPRESENT ANY CONSENSUS OF BELIEFS. WHAT IS DEMANDED OF THEM IS THAT THEY SHALL BE COMPETENT AND WELL INFORMED, REPRESENTING HONEST OPINIONS SERIOUSLY HELD AND CONVINCINGLY EXPRESSED."

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
