The Antioch Review

The Antioch Review was founded in 1940 by small group of Antioch College faculty with the goal of creating a platform for "the voice of liberalism in a world facing the forces of fascism and communism." The first publication was released in 1941. In its early years, it was edited by collective, among whom were Paul Bixler and George Geiger, and later Paul Rohmann.[http://review.antiochcollege.org/about-antioch-review Fogarty, Robert S. "A History of the Antioch Review: The Survival of the Imagination."]

While its pages have been populated by innumerous academics,{{Who|date=October 2024}} The Antioch Review does not publish footnotes, thus their contributions have been largely non- (rather than anti-) academic and journalistic in nature. Among the magazine's notable contributions, it published an article by Robert K. Merton in 1948 that introduced the world to the concept of the "self-fulfilling prophecy."{{cite book |last=Dunbar |first=Nicholas |title=Inventing Money |publisher=John Wiley & Sons |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-471-49811-7 |page=19}}

Dr. Robert S. (Bob) Fogarty, who joined the Antioch faculty in 1968 and was editor of The Antioch Review from 1977 to 2021, received the PEN/Nora Magid Award for Magazine Editing in 2003.{{cite web|title=The Antioch Review|url=http://www.newpages.com/literary-magazines/antioch-review|publisher=New Pages|accessdate=24 April 2016}}

The magazine continued to publish despite the temporary 2008 to 2011 closing of Antioch College, which reopened in 2011.

In April 2020, Fogarty was furloughed by the college, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August, Fogarty and Ben Zitsman, the magazine's managing editor, incorporated a nonprofit called the Antioch Review Foundation to raise funds and be in a position to take responsibility for the publication from the college, but were served a cease-and-desist order barring their use of the magazine name without involvement of the college, and any other actions relating to the Review.{{cite web |title=Uncertain fate for Antioch Review |date=29 October 2020 |url=https://ysnews.com/news/2020/10/uncertain-fate-for-antioch-review |accessdate=December 11, 2020 |publisher=Audrey Hackett, Yellow Springs News, October 29, 2020}}

The college subsequently said that because of the college's financial challenges, the publication was being put on hiatus after the Winter 2020 issue, which saw delayed publication during the Summer of 2020, while the college explored options. By October 2020, publication of the Review “just sort of stopped,” according to the magazine's long-time production editor Jane Baker; and, the college did not respond regarding the future of the Review to the editors. Fogarty's title as Editor was officially removed in June 2021, when the college retitled him as Editor Emeritus of the publication.{{cite web|url= https://antiochcollege.edu/2021/06/dr-robert-fogarty-honored-as-editor-emeritus-of-the-antioch-review/ |title=Dr. Robert Fogarty Honored as Editor Emeritus of The Antioch Review|date=28 June 2021 |publisher=Antioch College|accessdate=August 14, 2021}} He died two months later.{{cite web|url= https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/bob-fogarty-literary-giant-and-antioch-professor-dies/XUGOHAZLXZAM5CIKMO54IEERB4/ |title= Bob Fogarty, 'literary giant' and Antioch professor, dies |publisher=Dayton Daily News, August 13, 2021|accessdate=August 14, 2021}}

As of early 2025, the publication was still on hiatus, although the Antioch website at one point had promised a Fall 2024 relaunch.{{cite web|url= https://antiochcollege.edu/antioch-review/ |title=The Antioch Review|date=27 January 2021 |publisher=Antioch College|accessdate=August 16, 2024}}{{cite web|url= https://antiochcollege.edu/antioch-review/writers-guidelines/ |title=Writer’s Guidelines|publisher=Antioch College|accessdate=February 14, 2025}}
