ADVERTISE WITH CANADA’S AWARD-WINNING MAGAZINE ABOUT JOURNALISM

The Ryerson Review of Journalism is read by the country’s most influential media decision-makers – publishers, managing editors, writers, producers and broadcasters – and regularly sells out on newsstands. Your message in the Review will reach the leaders in publishing and journalism across Canada. The Ryerson Review of Journalism has won numerous National Magazine Awards, and has been recognized as one of the top student publications in North America by the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.

A FEW WORDS FROM THE PUBLISHER

For 28 years, The Ryerson Review of Journalism has been a watchdog and mirror for journalists in Canada. The magazine’s award-winning reports sometimes provoke, but more often enlighten readers who work in, or care about, news and the media. As the leading publication covering journalism in Canada – and the only one to

offer both print editions and an online presence – it attracts notice on tables and desks in every newsroom in Canada, and a story in the Review is a must-read in news organizations that are touched by its reports, both directly and otherwise.

The Review also nurtures the future of journalism by providing its writers and editors, all graduate and senior undergraduate students of the School of Journalism, with experience in investigative and long-form reporting and in the business of producing a consumer magazine in both print and online forms. Beyond its impact on newsroom leaders and decision-makers, your advertisement in the Review will associate your company with one of the world’s most respected journalism schools, with the rising generation of journalists, and with a steadfast striving for excellence.

PRAISE FROM ADVERTISERS AND READERS

KATHY ENGLISH
Public Editor, Toronto Star
“The Ryerson Review of Journalism has been a must-read
for me for 20 years. The depth of reporting, professional
writing quality and critical insights into the issues and
personalities that matter in Canadian journalism are
extraordinary for any media magazine – let alone one
created by student journalists.”

WILF DINNICK
OpenFile
“The Ryerson Review of Journalism is essential reading for
anyone in the Canadian news business. It has the most indepth,
original and important stories that are shaping our
industry. The magazine offers a fantastic look at where the
media is now, and where it is headed.”

SHEREE BOND
Media Relations Officer, Communications and Government
Relations Team, Ontario Nurses’ Association
“We know that journalists are busy and need reliable
sources. Our leadership and front-line members are
experts in what’s happening on the ground in every sector
of health care, and advertising that in the Review just
makes sense.”

SARAH MURDOCH

Managing Editor, Features, National Post
“There are always one or two articles in every issue of the
Review guaranteed to draw howls of outrage and buckets
of bile from within the profession, which is always fun to
observe.”

DAVID MACFARLANE
Author, Magazine Writer and Columnist
“I can think of no other publication in this country
that regularly holds journalism up to so clear and
uncompromising a light.”

ALISON SMITH

Senior CBC Correspondent/Host, The National
“The Review is a thoughtful and well-written review
of a craft and a profession that is seldom the subject of
intelligent criticism. I like reading it and I like knowing it’s
a sneak preview of Canada’s next generation of journalists.”

IAN BROWN

Broadcaster, CBC, TVO; and Features Writer, The Globe and
Mail

“The Review is the closest thing to a reliable conscience
that Canadian journalism has.”

PATRICIA D’SOUZA
Associate Editor, Canadian Geographic
“The Review should be essential reading for Canadian
journalists. It makes us better informed and better at what
we do.”

SCOTT WHITE
Editor-in-Chief, The Canadian Press
“The Ryerson Review of Journalism is one of the few
places that gives the Canadian media industry the
same type of scrutiny the media gives other important
institutions in society. We generally do a lousy job of
reporting on ourselves. The RRJ raises issues about
Canadian journalism that aren’t raised anywhere else.”

D.B. SCOTT
President, Impresa Communications Ltd.
“I have been heard to say, more than once, that if the
Ryerson Review of Journalism didn’t exist, we’d need to
invent it. This student-produced, twice-a-year publication
often publishes stories about journalism in this country
in ways that can be found nowhere else, including
magazines.”
