National Review

National Review ("NR") is a conservative political magazine founded by author William F. Buckley, Jr., in 1955. The magazine is based in New York City.

In its inaugural issue, Buckley said that the magazine "stands athwart history yelling 'Stop,' at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it."

Fifty years after its founding, National Review is considered by many to be one of the United States' most politically influential publications. It is widely quoted by television and radio commentators of varying political stripes, who either reference articles as points for establishing arguments or take issue with what is found within the magazine's pages.

A popular feature of National Review is the web version of the magazine, National Review Online ("NRO"), which includes a digital version of the magazine, articles updated daily by National Review writers, and the conservative blogs the Corner and TKS. The Online version is called the NRO to distinguish it from the paper magazine (referred to as "NRODT" or National Review On Dead Tree), the site posts new content daily of conservative opinion articles. It also features "The Corner," a weblog with postings from many of the site's editors and affiliated writers discussing the issues of the day and "TKS" a weblog written by Jim Geraghty. The site's editor is Kathryn Jean Lopez, known to the NRO community as "K-Lo".
