History

The magazine was established in Liverpool as the Liverpool Photographic Journal in 1854 with its first issue appearing on 14 January 1854, making it the United Kingdom's second oldest photographic title after the Photographic Journal. [2] It was printed monthly until 1857 when it became the Liverpool and Manchester Photographic Journal, published bi-weekly, then the Photographic Journal from 1859 to 1860, when it obtained its present name. The magazine moved to London in 1864, first to Covent Garden; then in 2007 to Soho; and in 2013 to Shoreditch; then in 2017 to East India Dock. [3] It was published weekly from 1864 to March 2010, then reverted to its original monthly period. It is now also available as an electronic magazine, online and in iPad and iPhone formats. [4] [5]

In 2013, Incisive Media sold the British Journal of Photography to its publishing director, who formed Apptitude Media. [6] In 2017 Apptitude Media was rebranded as 1854 Media. [7]

In 2022 Marc Hartog left as owner, CEO and chairman of 1854 Media, and the magazine's Creative Director Mick Moore took over as CEO. [8]

<i>The Photographic Journal</i> Journal published by the Royal Photographic Society

The Journal of the Photographic Society, later the Royal Photographic Society, was first published on 3 March 1853 and it has been published continuously ever since. The magazine's title was changed with volume 5 (1859) when it was renamed The Photographic Journal and this was recently updated to the RPS Journal. The publication is the oldest photographic periodical in the world. For much of the magazine's history it had an influence that went far beyond the society and a print run considerably in excess of the society's membership. The magazine has had its circulation ABC audited since 2010. From June 2014 Think Publishing took on responsibility for publishing the journal on the society's behalf. The Photographic Journal is not affiliated with ThePhotographicJournal.com, which is an online publication that began in 2013.
