The ''American Journalism Review'' (''AJR'') was an American magazine covering topics in journalism. It was launched in 1977 as the ''Washington Journalism Review'' by journalist Roger Kranz. In 1987 it was acquired by Henry Catto, a former U.S. ambassador, and his wife Jessica Hobby Catto, who was part of the family that published the ''Houston Post''. The Cattos donated the publication to the University of Maryland, College Park in 1987. In 1992 Rem Rieder became the editor. It took the name ''American Journalism Review'' in 1993.〔Lori Robertson, ("The Life and Times of AJR" ), ''American Journalism Review'', November 2002.〕 The university's Philip Merrill College of Journalism took control of the journal in 2011. Rem Rieder left in 2013, and ''AJR'' became an online-only publication within the Merrill College's curriculum. In July 2015 the college announced that it was terminating publication.〔Gurman Bhatia, ("American Journalism Review to cease publication" ), Poynter.org, July 31, 2015.〕〔Anita Balikrishnan, ("'American Journalism Review' ends online publishing" ), ''USA Today'', July 31, 2015.〕 ==Notable events== In January 1999, the Gannett Company pulled all its advertising, a few weeks after ''AJR'' published an article that contained negative comments about several Gannett leaders.〔Felicity Barringer, ("Gannett Withdraws Ads From Journalism Review" ), ''New York Times'', March 8, 1999〕 In its December 2006 issue, the ''AJR'' printed an article about the ''Santa Barbara News-Press'' and its owner, Wendy P. McCaw.〔(AJR.org )〕 Later that month, McCaw sued Susan Paterno, the writer of the article, accusing her of libel and product disparagement.〔("Publisher of California paper sues journalist over story in American Journalism Review" ), ''Associated Press'', December 19, 2006〕 The ''AJR'' was not named as a defendant, but agreed to pay Paterno's legal bills and indemnify her against any judgment. Paterno, as a freelancer, had written for the ''AJR'' for about ten years. In August 2007, the ''Washington Post'' reported that the ''AJR'' could shut down by the end of 2007 if it could not reduce its operating deficit, then running at about $200,000 per year (with a total budget of about $800,000). Donors provide at least a third of the budget; the remainder is from advertising. Donations to the ''AJR'' 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. 〔Joe Strupp, ("AJR Facing Major Debt -- But CJR Says It's In The Black" ), ''Editor & Publisher'', August 22, 2007〕 By mid-2007, the ''AJR'' had only one full-time editorial employee, editor Rem Rieder, with the design and artwork of the magazine contracted out. Most of the content of the ''AJR'' was from outside contributors (freelancers). In 2013, the ''Review'' ceased print publication and became an online-only publication.〔(American Journalism Review To Become Online Only Publication )〕 The online publication ended in 2015, although the archives were to remain available online.〔("American Journalism Review To Cease Online Publication" ), Philip Merrill College of Journalism, July 31, 2015.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Journalism Review」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
