New Voices (magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Voices is an American national magazine written by and for Jewish college students. Published since 1991 by the independent, non-profit, student-run Jewish Student Press Service, New Voices is read by over 26,000 students on over 400 campuses across the United States and abroad.

With New Voices, the Jewish Student Press Service has continued its tradition of cultivating the next generation of Jewish journalists, creating a Jewish media that speaks to young Jews, and empowering Jewish students to take ownership of their heritage. The magazine is produced by two recently graduated staff members in New York and dozens of student writers from campuses across the country on a shoestring annual budget.

[edit] History

The Jewish Student Press Service was established in 1970 to provide quality, student-written articles to the then-thriving network of Jewish campus publications across the country. Many of today's most accomplished Jewish journalists got their start at the Jewish Student Press Service. The current editors of The New York Jewish Week, The New Jersey Jewish News, Dissent, The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Lilith, and Sh'ma are all past contributors to the Jewish Student Press Service.

[edit] News coverage

In a 2006 The Nation article, Eyal Press writes about New Voice's budget crisis:

“In the end, Solelim announced a new arrangement: New Voices was given a $10,000 grant instead of the $30,000 it had expected, and was required to offer $9,000 in free advertising to two hard-line pro-Israel groups, Stand With Us and the David Project. This scuttled New Voices's capacity-building plans, and one staffer had to be let go.”^[1]
