The Independent Journal Review is a conservative[1] American news and opinion website based in Alexandria, Virginia.[2][3] The publication was founded in 2012 by Alex Skatell.[4] The publication is owned by Media Group of America. Skatell serves as its CEO. The site covers general interest topics including politics, culture, entertainment, and viral news content.

History

Founding and early expansion

In 2012, Alex Skatell, a former digital director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, launched the Independent Journal Review, using $40,000 that Skatell had earned via a software application that he developed at college and $20,000 borrowed from his parents. He believed that there was a gap in the market for a publication that would appeal to "a more mainstream center-right audience" and began aggregating news stories on a Facebook page called Conservative Daily. Skatell promoted the page and later launched the Independent Journal Review.[2]

Skatell then teamed up with Phil Musser, a former executive director of the Republican Governors Association, to launch IMGE and Media Group of America. Atkinson then hired a staff of writers and editors to contribute to and grow the journal.[2] In 2012, Skatell hired Bert Atkinson as chief editor.[5] By November 2014, the organization employed approximately fifty full-time staff members and several contributing writers.[6]

The site attracted an audience that largely lived outside Washington D.C. political circles that had broader interests than average consumers of political news.[6]

In January 2015, an angel investment firm invested $1.5M in the parent company of the site and Pete Snyder joined the board.[4]

In June 2015, they hired Benny Johnson as a "creative director" from National Review.[7] Johnson had previously worked at Buzzfeed, being fired after plagiarizing content from other websites.[8][9]

In March 2015, the site was named "Best New Publisher of the Year" by Digiday.[10]

2016 election cycle

During the 2015 campaign season, a number of Independent Journal Review political videos acquired national attention, such as Lindsey Graham destroying his cell phone [11] and Ted Cruz making "machine gun bacon."[12]

Then, Independent Journal Review partnered with ABC News to host the Republican Presidential Debate on February 6, 2016.[13][14]

During the 2016 election, Independent Journal Review was listed in the top 10 websites engaged per news story on Facebook.[15] In November 2016, Independent Journal Review became one of the first two digital media companies accepted into the News Media Alliance, formerly the Newspaper Association of America.[16][17]

Post-2016 election

In January 2017, the website was noted for being the first major U.S. news outlet to confirm that Judge Neil Gorsuch would be nominated by president Donald Trump for the Supreme Court, news which failed to spread quickly due to other media outlets' distrust of the Review.[18]

During United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's diplomatic trip to Asia in March 2017, the Independent Journal Review was the only news publication invited to send a reporter to accompany the trip.[19]

Several key members of the Independent Journal Review's editorial staff, including Benny Johnson and Kyle Becker, were suspended in March 2017 over an opinion piece on former President Barack Obama's visit to Hawaii prior to a judge's ruling on the travel ban.[20] Becker later resigned from IJR, and Johnson was fired from Independent Journal Review in October 2017.[21]

In May 2017, Haley Byrd, a congressional reporter for the Independent Journal Review, said she was kicked out of the Speaker's Lobby in the U.S. Capitol because she was wearing a sleeveless dress; Byrd says she was told that she was violating the rules.[22]

In July 2017, IMGE CEO Phil Musser purchased IMGE and formally split the agency out of Media Group of America.[23] A few months later, in September 2017, Musser was named Senior Vice President of Communications at Boeing and left IMGE to a new leadership group.[24]

In mid 2017, IJR launched conservative and liberal verticals, The Declaration and The Response to transparently present a variety of perspectives around conversations across the United States.[25] The site broadened its mission to help organize communities around a set of facts and a variety of perspectives.{{citation needed|date=December 2017}}

In November 2017, IJR was one of a handful of media publications, including The Washington Post, The Economist, Mic, The Globe and Mail, and others, to participate in the launch of 'Trust Indicators' by The Trust Project.[26] According to the Trust Project, 'Trust Indicators' are markings within published news articles that denote to readers the news websites' commitment to increased journalistic and ethical standards in reporting. The Trust Project is described as a consortium of top news companies working collectively to transparency standards and increase accountability in journalism, and is headed by Sally Lehrman[27]
