CJ's Demise Is Permanent

The defunct California Journal will not return to cover the state's political and policy debates, according to a news release this afternoon from the non-profit foundation that ran the monthly magazine.

In January, the magazine's backers suspended publication after 35 years– the last few as a source of government reporting in desperate need of money. At the time, they left the door open for a return of the California Journal. But today, board members of the foundation that oversaw the magazine decided to end their efforts to find new publishers.

"We simply didn't have the financial committments necessary to put out a quality magazine," said foundation board president Lou Cannon in a prepared statement.
