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.

[2][5] The magazine continued to publish despite the temporary 2008 to 2011 closing of Antioch College, which reopened in 2011.

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.
