USC Annenberg mothballed the original Online Journalism Review in June. But Geneva Overholser, the new director of the Annenberg School of Journalism, announced today that OJR is coming back under the auspices of the Knight Digital Media Center and will publish new items twice a week. Former editor Robert Niles will be involved. The Knight Center is a collaboration between USC and the Graduate School of Journalism at Berkeley.
