Columbia Journalism Review is a finalist for the 2019 National Magazine Award for General Excellence—the most prestigious honor given by the American Society of Magazine Editors.

The Perception Issue of Columbia Journalism Review explores “what the press looks like from the outside—and what we misread about ourselves.” Thinking about the subjective nature of perception guided our experimental approach to this issue’s art direction: we gave six very different artists an open-ended prompt to depict how the press is perceived. Artists: Edmon de Haro, Serge Bloch, Ellen Weinstein, Vivienne Flesher, Dadu Shin, Lincoln Agnew

Columbia Journalism Review was nominated for the 2018 National Magazine Award in the Single-Topic Issue category. On the cover: Inauguration Day, Washington, DC. Portrait by Carolyn Drake for Magnum Photos. Washington Post special section featuring an illustration by Chris Buzelli and photograph by Matt McClain.

We designed the first special print edition of CJR, celebrating the centennial of the Pulitzers.
