The '''''Review of Journalism''''' (formerly the '''''Ryerson Review of Journalism''''') is a Canadian [[magazine]], published annually by final-year journalism students at [[Toronto Metropolitan University]]. The magazine profiles personalities, issues and controversies in Canadian [[Mass media|media]]. In addition to the features in the printed magazine, weekly online features and a daily blog are maintained by the staff of the ''Review''. The magazine's mandate has, from the very beginning, asked ''What does this mean for Canadian journalism now?''

Don Obe, who was chair of then-Ryerson's journalism school in mid-1983, began planning for a student-produced magazine project. The first issue of the ''Ryerson Review of Journalism'' was printed in April 1984.

The magazine has won a number of [[National Magazine Awards (Canada)|National Magazine Award]]s, as well as citations by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' and ''[[Utne Reader]]'' and a number of awards from the Association of Educators in Journalism and Mass Communication.

In 2021, what was then Ryerson University's school of journalism announced that it would be renaming the publication as well as ''[[The Ryersonian]]'' before the 2021–2022 school year to remove any reference to [[Egerton Ryerson]], an architect of the [[Canadian Indian residential school system]]. The 2021 winter semester issue was published as ''[ ] Review of Journalism'', using brackets to elide Ryerson's name from the title;<ref>Nicole Thompson, [https://globalnews.ca/news/7660959/ryerson-review-of-journalism-name-change/ "Ryerson Review of Journalism temporarily cuts ‘Ryerson’ from its name"].
