Columbia Journalism Review
Today's site, from the prestigious Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia
University, offers its measured analysis on the state of reportage in the U.S.
and abroad. Gentle Subscribers will find thought-provoking reflections on
current news stories, how they are treated, and their significance within a
wider perspective.
"Columbia Journalism Review's mission is to encourage excellence in journalism
in the service of a free society. Founded in 1961 ... CJR monitors and supports
the press as it works across all platforms, and also tracks the ongoing
evolution of the media business. ... CJR.org weighs in daily, hosting a
conversation that is open to all who share a commitment to high journalistic
standards in the US and around the world." - from the website
This pleasantly designed publication delivers a refreshing survey of current
news, along with a look at the more meaningful events crowding the news cycle.
With categories covering Local News, Innovations, the Business of News, and the
Watchdog section, the magazine provides clear-sighted analysis on critical
issues in the industry and its coverage of events. Recent stories include
articles on the dangers of sharing cute animal videos, Turkey's new response to
foreign journalists, and National Public Radio's deft handling of the story of
World War II U.S. military personnel as victims of secret mustard gas testing.
