Published since 1991 by the independent, non-profit, student-run Jewish Student Press Service, New Voices is read by over 20,000 students across the United States and abroad.
The magazine is produced by one recent college graduate in New York City and dozens of student writers from campuses across the country on a shoestring annual budget.
History
The Jewish Student Press Service was established in 1971 to provide quality, student-written articles to a then-thriving national network of local Jewish campus publications across the United States.{{Cite web |title=Wujs to Launch World-wide Student Press Service; Offers to Stand-in for 33 Jews |url=https://www.jta.org/archive/wujs-to-launch-world-wide-student-press-service-offers-to-stand-in-for-33-jews |access-date=2023-04-06 |website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |date=March 20, 2015 |language=en-US}} Many of today's most accomplished Jewish journalists got their start at the Jewish Student Press Service. Current and former writers and editors of The New York Times, The Washington Post, 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.{{Cite web |title=About Us |url=https://newvoices.org/about-us/ |access-date=2023-04-06 |website=New Voices |language=en-US}}
In 1991, 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, which now operates online as a fully digital magazine.{{Cite web |title=What Ever Happened to Those Jewish Student Radicals? |url=https://www.jta.org/jewniverse/2013/whatever-happened-to-those-jewish-student-radicals |access-date=2023-04-06 |website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |language=en-US}} As an independent publication and educational organization, each Editor is recently-graduated and hired for an average two-year contract.{{Cite web |last=Wilensky |first=David A.
