Chronicles (paleoconservative) - Definition and Overview

Chronicles is a US monthly magazine published by the paleoconservative Rockford Institute.

The editor is Thomas Fleming. The magazine strongly supported the candidacy of Patrick Buchanan in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections. Taking an anti-globalism, some say pro-isolationism, editorial stance, it has become a leading anti-war group within conservative politics.

History

The magazine was founded in 1976, soon after the Institute's establishment earlier that year. Originally known as The Chronicles of Culture, the magazine was published by Leopold Tyrmand and John A. Howard. Thomas Fleming joined the Institute's staff in 1984 and became editor in 1985 after Tyrmand died. Fleming changed the title to Chronicles. Its full current name is Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

Chronicles promotes the activities of the John Randolph Club, another project of the Rockford Institute.
