Who We Are

The Columbia Journalism Review is recognized throughout the world as America's premiere media monitor—a watchdog of the press in all its forms, from newspapers and magazines to radio, television, and cable to the wire services and the Web. Founded in 1961 under the auspices of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, CJR examines not only day-to-day press performance but also the many forces—political, economic, technological, social, legal, and more—that affect that performance for better or worse. The magazine, which
is edited by a dedicated staff of professional journalists and published six times a year, offers a mix of reporting, analysis, criticism, and commentary, always aimed at its basic goal:
the continuing improvement of journalism in the service of a free society.

Writers' Guidelines
CJR accepts unsolicited queries. They can be submitted through email or regular mail. Include a resume and a brief summary of your journalism experience and qualification to write the piece. It helps to demonstrate a familiarity with the magazine and its sections, as well as anything we have written about the subject in the past. We publish six times a year, and lead time for a piece is typically at least a month. In addition to First North American Rights, we purchase the right to publish articles on our Web site. Articles are included in academic and research databases. We pay a kill fee of half the agreed upon amount if the piece is delivered satisfactorily and then not used.
