EJ Magazine started out as a four-page newsletter called EJ News. In 2002, two graduate students — Kristen Tuinstra and Randy Yeip — undertook ambitious master's projects to completely revamp the newsletter's content and design, thus creating EJ Magazine as it exists in its current form. Since then, EJ has continued to grow more sophisticated, offering higher quality articles and artwork from a wider variety of student and professional contributors each year.
- Frequency: Once per semester (Fall and Spring)
- Length: 30-40 pages
- Circulation: approximately 1,800 (4,000 printed)
- Audience: MSU faculty and personnel involved with environmental or communications fields; every J-School in the United States; professional journalists; environmental, health and science professionals; concerned citizens
In the last four years, EJ has won four awards:
- 2005 Environmental Business Award from the Michigan Audubon Society
- Ben East Award from the Michigan United Conservation Clubs
- A William Randolph Hearst Award in feature writing to undergraduate contributor Patrick Wellever
- A first-place 2006 & 2007 Mark of Excellence Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for Best Student Magazine
