Great idea! Now, how about the professors and administrators? They're the "adults in charge" who institutionalized this mess.

Just last week I bought my 18yo high school senior a subscription! She loves it and that makes happy. She plans on journalism as her major so I view this as a guide on how things should be done.

Why not high school students?

I have eternal gratitude for The Free Press and all of our open dialogue.

Whoohoo! This is great! May common sense spread like a dirty little underground secret.

I never in my life imagined that it would be easier to make jokes out of the left than my hokey, conservative upbringing. Let me tell ya (in my thickest midwestern accent), this trad family can spin some fine jokes around the table over tuna hot dish.

How about for bald, business professors? Can we not get a little love? 😄

I want to buy some gift subscriptions to The Free Press. But can’t find anyway to do that. Can someone direct me?

Bari et al, have you considered working with supportive alumni of various colleges/universities to sponsor a large block of free subscriptions at their institutions? Although I imagine pledging the money would be much easier than dealing with the institutions.

Just forwarded it to my daughter at Illinois State and my nephew at Purdue!

Great idea but make your audience bigger and wider . Free to all students .

Excellent. And if you hand out the first 1K subscriptions quickly, consider expanding to 10K free subs. Or more. :-)

Unfortunately (or is that fortunately?), none of the young people in my circle who might be interested in this are college students.

I am grateful to have received my degree 32 years ago, I used to feel a twinge of jealously for the advancements of technology in education but realize I would not have received the exceptional education I was granted.

I hope many college students take advantage of your offer, your publication is critical for the future.
