Standpoint was a British cultural and political magazine, originally published monthly, that debuted in June 2008.[1] It ceased to be published regularly in 2020, with a final issue coming out in mid-2021.
Standpoint was based in London and was co-founded by Daniel Johnson, Miriam Gross, Jonathan Foreman, and Michael Mosbacher; Johnson was its first editor,[2] but announced that he was standing down in 2018.[3]
In 2019, editor Edward Lucas said that the magazine was to be "a lively champion of unfashionable causes such as the virtues of western civilisation and transatlanticism".[4] Later that year, he also said: "We fight culture wars vigorously, mix polemic with mockery, and are all in favour of triggering people."[3]
The magazine was run by the Social Affairs Unit, a spinoff charity of a neoliberal economic thinktank, the Institute of Economic Affairs. It was initially funded by British Marine chairman Alan Bekhor and then by other rich donors,[5] such as Jeremy Hosking, who donated £850,000 in 2019.[6]
