The New Criterion is a New York–based monthly literary magazine and journal of artistic and cultural criticism, edited by Roger Kimball (editor and publisher) and James Panero (executive editor). It has sections for criticism of poetry, theater, art, music, the media, and books. It was founded in 1982 by Hilton Kramer, former art critic for The New York Times, and Samuel Lipman, a pianist and music critic. The name is a reference to The Criterion, a British literary magazine edited by T. S. Eliot from 1922 to 1939.
The magazine describes itself as a "monthly review of the arts and intellectual life ... at the forefront both of championing what is best and most humanely vital in our cultural inheritance and in exposing what is mendacious, corrosive, and spurious."[2] It is characterized by a Modernist inclination and evinces a political conservatism that is rare among other publications of its type.[3][4]
It regularly publishes special symposia, or compilations of published material organized into themes. Some past examples include Affirmative action and the law; Common-good conservatism: a debate; Corrupt Humanitarianism; Religion, Manners, and Morals in the U.S. and Great Britain; and Reflections on Anti-Americanism.
Since 1999, The New Criterion has awarded the New Criterion Poetry Prize, a poetry contest wherein the magazine publishes the winner's work and awards them a cash prize.[5] In 2004, The New Criterion contributors began publishing an online section, initially named ArmaVirumque, and later renamed to Dispatch.
