Compact

Compact is an American online magazine that began operating in March 2022. The magazine was co-founded by populist Edwin Aponte, former editor of the conservative ecumenical journal First Things, Matthew Schmitz, and conservative opinion journalist Sohrab Ahmari. The New York Times describes the magazine's editors as being ideologically diverse, including religiously conservative Catholics, populists and dissident Marxist feminists. The magazine's editorial line is critical of liberalism from both the left and the right.
