YES! is a nonprofit, independent publisher of solutions journalism. YES! was founded by David Korten and Sarah van Gelder; Khalilah Elliott is the interim executive director.[1]

The first issue of the magazine was published in summer 1996.[2] In May 2025, the editors announced their intention to cease operations at the end of the following June.[3]

Issues of YES! explore a specific issue in depth, and provide resources so that readers may become involved in that issue. Previous issues have covered topics such as just transition,[4] sanctuary city,[5] solidarity economy[6] and decolonization.[7]

The magazine is printed on recycled paper and archives all its issues online.

YES! is a member of The Media Consortium, an international network of over 70 independent progressive journalism organizations including Mother Jones, The Nation, Grist, Democracy Now!, and others.[8] YES! and other Media Consortium outlets participated in a 2017 study[9] that looked at the impact they could have on the national conversation.[10]

In 2015, YES! Magazine was showcased on Neil Young's July tour promoting The Monsanto Years. Young selected five magazines to feature in a "News You Can Trust" tent, including YES!, The Nation, Mother Jones, Permaculture Magazine, and Earth Island Journal.[11]
