A new and cheering venture: the Student Free Press Association . “Run by veteran journalists for the benefit of beginning journalists,” according to its website, the SFPA is “is an individual membership organization of college-aged writers, bloggers, tweeters, podcasters, and viral video makers” that “aspires to become an excellent source of higher-education news.” Among the impressive list of mentors are William McGurn and Michael Barone.
And among the subjects taken up on the home page as I write are Obama’s hold over college students, University of Missouri professors’ political commitments, Harvard’s stem cell work, the availability of synthetic marijuana, Notre Dame’s actions against those who protested the president’s visit, and articles about life on campus, like the adjustment of veterans to life on campus.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
