Critics are publicly accepted and followed due to the quality of their assessments or reputation. They often present arguments in complete books or publications. Critics may base their assessments on theoretical positions like feminism or Freudian perspectives. Unlike others who editorialize, professional critics are paid to produce their opinions for media companies. When personal opinions outweigh judgment, people giving views are called pundits rather than critics. Critics themselves are subject to other critics' judgments as the final assessment involves subjectivity. Established critics can influence public taste as arbiters and may award symbols of recognition.

Critics are publicly accepted and, to a significant degree,
followed because of the quality of their assessments or
their reputation. Influential critics of art, music, theater and architecture often present their arguments in complete books. One very famous example is John Ruskin's Seven Lamps of Architecture and The Stones of Venice. Critics may base their assessment on a range of theoretical positions. For instance, they may take a feminist or Freudian perspective.[1] Unlike other individuals who may editorialize on subjects via websites or letters written to publications, professional critics are paid to produce their assessment and opinions for print, radio, magazine, television, or Internet companies. When their personal opinion outweighs considered judgment, people who give opinions, whether on current events, public affairs, sports, media or art are often referred to as "pundits" instead of critics. Critics are themselves subject to competing critics, since the final critical judgment always entails subjectivity. An established critic can play a powerful role as a public arbiter of taste or opinion. Also, critics or a coordinated group of critics, may award symbols of recognition.
