PRESS RELEASE: The American Postliberal, Collegiate Network Announce Strategic Partnership
For Immediate Release: The American Postliberal & the Collegiate Network at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute Announce Strategic Partnership
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, The American Postliberal (TAP) and the Collegiate Network (CN) at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) announced the formation of a strategic partnership to expand the reach and impact of TAP, while further growing the CN’s timeless support for independent collegiate journalism. This partnership will open new doors, including grant funding and a new talent acquisition source for the rapidly growing publication. TAP’s team is excited for what this partnership has in store and looks forward to the opportunities ahead.
Upon announcing the partnership, editor-in-chief William Benson said, “I am excited to announce this strategic partnership with the CN. For decades, ISI and the CN have been foundational to educating students in the liberal arts and the American tradition. We are grateful for their trust and support of our publication and look forward to aiding their mission of raising the level of political discussion on college campuses.”
Michael Ippolito, president of TAP said, “Today’s youth are not satisfied with the current failings of liberalism. I am thankful that ISI is willing to support our publication’s mission and help introduce more students to the postliberal perspective.”
BACKGROUND:
For more than 40 years, ISI’s Collegiate Network has supported independent college newspapers, magazines, and journals. CN student journalists focus public awareness on the politicization of American college classrooms, curricula, and student life. They raise the level of discourse on campus and provide an outlet for students to keep university faculty and administrations honest. ISI’s Collegiate Network supports more than 80 student-run publications across the country.
The American Postliberal is a nationally-run publication focused on American, Catholic, and postliberal political thought. Fresh off of the publication’s one year anniversary, it boasts thousands of subscribers and numerous student contributors from across the country. Founded by William Benson and Michael Ippolito, current and former undergraduates at The Catholic University of America, respectively, the conservative publication has gone on to define the political conversation in a way not typically seen amongst young, student-driven publications.
