Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) is an American media watchdog organization that monitors and reports on media issues.
Transgender topics
CJR has published a number of pieces involving opinion, criticism, and analysis of transgender coverage in the media, like this piece from Alexandria Neason:
Controversial stories like Jesse Singalâs cover story for The Atlantic, on how parents of transgender teens approach their desire to personally or medically transition, come to mind. The story was fact checked, but according to many readers, journalists, and activists in the trans community, was transphobicâand all wrong. The difference between fact and truth is yet another example of why newsrooms, and publishing houses, desperately need to invest in employing and representing diverse writers, editors, agents, and fact checkers alike.
