About GJR

Gateway Journalism Review critically analyzes the mass media in the Midwest stretching from Ohio to Oklahoma and from North Dakota to Arkansas – and beyond. The publication’s goal is to regularly review journalism, new media, photojournalism, advertising, public relations and entertainment media to help ensure the public has the most credible, fair media possible.

GJR‘s comprehensive web site and quarterly print magazine are the phoenix of St. Louis Journalism Review, a publication with a St. Louis focus launched more than 50 years ago by Charles Klotzer. GJR will continue to report on the St. Louis media. Now residing at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, GJR draws upon the considerable student and faculty resources of the university’s School of Journalism in the College of Arts and Media.

GJR‘s staff welcomes your input, comments and suggestions, and we urge you to consider contributing to GJR – your journalism review.

GJR accepts media-related pitches from scholars. Our magazine is a great outlet for tenure-track professors and other in academia who need published work. We pay our freelance contributors.

We do not accept completed work that is unsolicited but will consider pitches from journalists that are focused on media in the Midwest. We prefer work that has a Midwestern angle.
