The College Fix

The Chronicle of Higher Education described The College Fix as a website designed to recruit "young conservatives for careers in the news media by placing college students in internships with right-leaning publications." Miller had long desired "to help other conservative and libertarian campus journalists" and The Fix gives them a platform where they will get "more attention than from just the campus level."{{Cite web|url=https://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/philanthropy-magazine/article/spring-2014-new-balance| title=New Balance: Training the next generation of conservative journalists| first= Justin |last= Torres | work= Philanthropy Magazine |date= Spring 2014 |via= philanthropyroundtable.org | publisher= Philanthropy Roundtable |language=en|access-date=2018-08-09}}

As of 2025, The Fix had four full-time editors and one part-time editor who oversee a network of approximately 100 contributors.{{Cite web |title=Who We Are |url=https://www.thecollegefix.com/about/who-we-are/ |access-date=2025-02-19 |website=The College Fix}}

The Chronicle of Higher Education reported in 2015 that some subjects covered by The Fix had accused the website of misreporting their stories. The Fix editor Jennifer Kabbany defended the site's coverage and said that the site offers those it covers an opportunity to comment. In addition, Kabbany told NPR in April 2018 that the site "has publicly denounced any vile emails that a professor might get."{{Cite news| url= http://krcu.org/post/professors-are-targets-online-culture-wars-some-fight-back#stream/0 |title=Professors Are Targets In Online Culture Wars; Some Fight Back |last= Kamenetz| first=Anya | website= krcu.org| publisher= KCRU Public Radio | date= April 4, 2018 |language=en |access-date=2018-06-15}}

In February 2017 Inside Higher Ed probed whether The Fix had failed to disclose its relationship to the son of Betsy DeVos, weeks before her appointment as the US Secretary of Education. As early as 2015, Rick DeVos had served as a board member of Student Free Press Association, though this relationship was not disclosed in the site's coverage of DeVos. Days after the report John Miller apologized and took blame for the oversight.{{cite news |last1=Miller |first1=John J. |title=DeVos and disclosure |url=https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/31117/ |accessdate=27 June 2018 |work=The College Fix |date=8 February 2018 |quote=Although the makeup of SFPA’s board is available in public documents, we did not put a disclosure statement in the articles posted on The Fix. We should have done this. I apologize for the oversight. The fault is mine.}}

The Donors Capital Fund gave $365,600 to the Student Free Press Association from 2014 to 2015, before ceasing contributions. The site reported receiving $749,509 in contributions from various sources in 2018.{{cite news |last1=Lytvynenko |first1=Jane |title=The College Fix Was Founded To Fight Culture Wars On Campus, But Its Biggest Hit Is About The Coronavirus |url=https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/college-fix-coronavirus-herd-immunity |access-date=9 January 2022 |work=The College Fix |publisher=BuzzFeed News |date=16 April 2020}}
