For more than 35 years, ISI’s Collegiate Network has supported independent college newspapers, magazines, and journals that report on important campus issues ignored by the mainstream media.

ISI Collegiate Network student journalists focus public awareness on the politicization of American college classrooms, curricula, and student life. They elevate the level of discourse on campus and provide an outlet for students to hold university faculty and administrators accountable.

ISI’s Collegiate Network supports over 80 student-run publications across the country, including the Dartmouth Review, the Chicago Thinker, the Lone Conservative, and the Claremont Independent. We also connect students with journalism fellowship programs that offer future career opportunities.
