"New Voices" is an American national magazine written for and by 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.

The magazine is produced by two recent college graduates in New York and dozens of student writers from campuses across the country on a shoestring annual budget.

History

The Jewish Student Press Service was established in 1970 to provide quality, student-written articles to a then-thriving national network of local Jewish campus publications. 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.

In 1992, faced with a decline in the number of individual campus publications, the Jewish Student Press Service changed its focus and began publishing its own magazine, called New Voices.

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.” [cite journal
