National Review - Definition and Overview

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

Nearly 50 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 blog "the Corner."
