Candour (magazine)
Candour is a British far right-wing magazine founded and edited by A. K. Chesterton until his death in 1973.
History and profile[edit]
Candour was founded in 1953 as the successor to Truth newspaper of which he had been deputy editor. Truth had been acquired by the Staples Press, who insisted on a new editorial policy and as a result Chesterton resigned.
Chesterton issued a statement "Truth has been murdered" and asked his readers for backing for a new journal in the style of the old Truth.
The initial response was not enthusiastic and the idea might have been still-born had it not been for funds received from R. K. Jeffery, a Chile-based British millionaire. Further backing then followed and Candour was born, with the first issue appearing on 30 October 1953.
Candour was intended to "serve as a link between Britons all over the world in protest against the surrender of their world heritage."[attribution needed]
After Chesterton's death, Candour was edited by Rosine de Bounevialle until her own death in 1999.
It continues to be published irregularly, with the latest issue printed in November 2016.[1]
