    More about the Columbian Journal Review:

    The current chairman is Stephen J. Adler, previously editor-in-chief at Reuters from 2011 to 2021.

    The previous chairman of the magazine was Victor Navasky, a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and former editor and publisher of the politically progressive The Nation. According to Executive Editor Michael Hoyt, Navasky’s role is “99% financial” and “he doesn’t push anything editorially.” Hoyt also has stated that Navasky has “learned how to get a small magazine of ideas into the black, and he’s trying to come up with some strategies for us.”[4]

      The corporate press has only themselves to blame for the public’s distaste for what they do. That someone they don’t like has capitalized on this sentiment is no surprise at all.
