Compact (stylized COMPACT, published with the subtitle "Magazine for Sovereignty" (German: Magazin für Souveränität) since October 2013) is a German magazine. Compact is the most important popular magazine of the extreme far-right in Germany. It unites different political milieus through strategic topic setting.[1]

Editor-in-chief of Compact is Jürgen Elsässer, CEO of Compact-Magazin GmbH, the company which publishes Compact Kai Homilius. The editorial office is based in a family home in Falkensee in Brandenburg, at the western border of Berlin. Compact is classified as a far-right extremist publication according to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution due to consistent antisemitism, Islamophobia and contempt for the democratic principles of the Federal Republic of Germany. Since 2015, Compact has presented itself as a mouthpiece of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Islamophobic Pegida movement.[2][3]
