Jewish Student Press Service & New Voices Magazine

The Jewish Student Press Service (JSPS) has been committed to critical discussion and open debate since its founding in 1970. During its first two decades, JSPS served as an umbrella for the growing field of independent Jewish student publications, providing campus and Israel coverage through its wire service and national conferences for Jewish student journalists. In 1991, as the number of campus publications declined, JSPS initiated its own New Voices magazine. 

Written, designed, edited and published by recent graduates for their peers, New Voices is a free, print and online resource that enters the mailboxes and Hillel houses of more than 26,000 readers across 400 campuses. New Voices speaks seamlessly to its audience on a range of topics including immigration, Middle Eastern peace, Jewish music, anti-Semitism and the continuity debate. 

While the concept of a magazine is not new, New Voices’ courageousness to remain an independent and student-run press, and its continued commitment to provide a forum for intelligent and critical debate, keeps JSPS refreshingly innovative.
