The Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) is an American magazine for professional journalists published by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism since 1961. Its contents include news and media industry trends, analysis, professional ethics and stories behind news.
In October 2015, it was announced that the print magazine's publishing frequency is being reduced from six to two issues per year in order to focus on digital operations.[2]
Personnel
The current chairman is Stephen J. Adler, who also serves as Reuters' Editor in Chief.
The previous chairman of the magazine was Victor Navasky, a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and former editor and publisher of the politically progressive The Nation. According to Executive Editor Michael Hoyt, Navasky's role is "99% financial" and "he doesn't push anything editorially." Hoyt has also stated that Navasky has "learned how to get a small magazine of ideas into the black, and he's trying to come up with some strategies for us."[3]
Finances
CJR is a nonprofit entity and relies on fundraising to fund its operations. Donors to CJR include George Soros' Open Society Foundations.[4]
In August 2007, Mike Hoyt, the CJR's executive editor since 2003, said the CJR's income in 2007 would exceed expenses by about $50,000, with estimates of a $40,000 surplus in 2008. Hoyt attributed the surpluses to a mix of some staff cuts, such as not replacing three editors who left, and fundraising increases. Donations to the CJR in the past three years have included about $1.25 million from a group of news veterans headed by former Philadelphia Inquirer executive editor Eugene Roberts.[5]
As of mid-2007, the CJR had an eight-person staff, an annual budget of $2.3 million, and circulation of about 19,000, including 6,000 student subscriptions.[5]
In 2016, Kyle Pope, who served as the editor in chief of The New York Observer, was announced as the new editor and publisher of CJR, replacing Liz Spayd who was announced as the sixth public editor of The New York Times.[6]
