Der Merkur ist eine der wichtigsten und angesehensten Kulturzeitschriften im deutschsprachigen Raum. 1947 als Monatsheft gegründet, erscheint er mittlerweile seit über siebzig Jahren. Hinter dieser ungewöhnlichen Langlebigkeit steht ein einfaches Konzept: Der Merkur vertritt keine weltanschauliche, politische oder auch ästhetische Agenda. Er geht davon aus, dass seine Leserinnen und Leser sich ihr Urteil selber bilden wollen. Deshalb setzt er nicht auf vorgefasste Meinungen, sondern auf Neugier, Sachkenntnis, Widerspruchsgeist und kompromissloses Qualitätsbewusstsein.
