Cohen, Nathan, 1923-1971 : Nathan Cohen was born in 1923 in Sydney, Nova Scotia. His experience in journalism began at Mount Allison University, where he edited the student newspaper, The Argosy Weekly. He graduated with an honours B.A. in English in 1942 and, after briefly studying law in Toronto, edited the labour-owned Glace Bay Gazette, 1942-1945. He then settled for good in Toronto, where he joined the Communist Party and contributed to the Canadian Tribune, Wochenblatt, New Voice and Canadian Jewish Weekly.

Cohen broke into radio in 1948 with the CBC's Dominion Networks programme on CJBC, Across the Footlights, reviewing theatre in Toronto. In 1949, he moved to its successor, CJBC Views the Shows, where he stayed until the end of the 1950s. At the same time, he contributed reviews to CBC's national magazine programme, Critically Speaking. He gained even wider public exposure when he began to host CBC's discussion programme, Fighting Words, which challenged guests to identify a quotation and then debate its merits, and which was broadcast on both radio and television from the early 1950s until 1962. Cohen published and edited his own quarterly, The Critic, from 1950 to 1953. From 1956 to 1958, he worked as a script editor for CBC television's General Motors Theatre, where he worked with the legendary Sydney Newman. After a brief stint as theatre critic for the Toronto Telegram, Cohen joined the Toronto Star as drama critic and stayed there until his death, for a period also acting as its entertainment editor (1959-1965). During the same time, he appeared as a commentator on both CBC's Assignment and on the private radio station CKFM (CFRB's FM station). He contributed articles on Canadian theatre to various periodicals throughout his career and in 1970-1971 taught theatre at York University. In 1967, he received an honorary degree from Mount Allison University.

Nathan Cohen died on 26 March 1971. After his death, the Canadian Theatre Critics Association's Nathan Cohen Award for Art Criticism and the Nathan Cohen Award for excellence in Playwriting for Children were established in his honour.

Nathan Cohen married Gloria Brontman in 1947 and they had two children, Susan and Phyllis.
