The Journalist (newspaper)


The Journalist was the first successful American trade newspaper covering journalism. It was founded as The Journalist: A Magazine for All Who Read and Write by Leander Richardson and Charles Alfred Byrne and published weekly, commencing with its first issue on March 22, 1884.
John Christian Freund became a partner in late 1884, and in January 1885, Charles J. Smith bought the paper. Allan Forman was a long-time editor and owner of the paper.
The paper published weekly through March 23, 1895, then suspended and restarted from April 17, 1897 to June 16, 1906, before switching to a monthly publication schedule.
The paper was merged into Editor & Publisher in 1907.
