A publication run by students in Ryerson's journalism program won't be using the university's name in its title until at least the end of the winter semester while the school examines the legacy of Egerton Ryerson and his role in the establishment of residential schools.
The publication, officially called the Ryerson Review of Journalism (RRJ), announced Thursday that it will be referred to as the [ ] Review of Journalism (the Review or the [ ]RJ for short) going forward while a presidential task force examines Egerton Ryerson's history and legacy, the findings of which are expected to be released in the summer of 2021.
