The Journalist (newspaper) (original) (raw)

The Journalist (1884 - 1907) 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 (former managing editor of the New York Star) bought the paper. Allan Forman was a long-time editor and owner of the paper. The paper was merged into Editor & Publisher (founded in 1901) in 1907.
