From 1980 through 1996, Common Cause published Common Cause Magazine. The magazine, once termed "the little magazine that could," and described by the Washington Post as "a deeply researched, finger-in-your-eye sort of periodical", paralleled the work of Common Cause and focused on issues such as campaign finance and government accountability.
The magazine won more than two dozen journalism awards, including five from Investigative Reporters and Editors, as well as a National Magazine Award for General Excellence.
According to a Washington Post article, Common Cause was considering acquiring the Washington Monthly magazine. However, the National Governing Board voted against the Washington Monthly acquisition at its spring 2008 meeting.
