The Municipal Journal (also known as The MJ) is a weekly print news magazine and online publication covering local government and civic administration in the United Kingdom. [1] [2] It was established in 1893, under the title London. [1] [3] It is now published by the Hemming Group, with a stated target audience of "council chief executives and their teams of decision-makers in local authorities and allied sectors". [4] [5] The editor since 2011 has been Heather Jameson; she replaced Michael Burton. [6]

The academic historian John R. Griffiths has described its role in its first two decades of existence as: [1]

...to defend the Progressive agenda from Conservative (Moderate) attack, and [...] to play the role as the ' Hansard of local government.'

elsewhere, Griffiths notes: [7]

...the significance of British world publications such as the Municipal Journal, appearing after 1890, in the facilitation of British world progressivism

From 1950-1952, it was published as the Municipal Journal and Public Works Engineer. [8]

As well as news and opinion pieces, the journal has also published articles by academic researchers. [9] [10]

The journal also sponsors and hosts an annual "MJ Achievement Awards". [11]
