CampusJ Jewish Collegiate News was a website covering Jewish news on college and university campuses with a network of student journalists. CampusJ was launched in February 2005 by editor and publisher Steven I. Weiss of Canonist.[1] The last posting was dated May 20, 2007. By 2008, the site appeared defunct, and many of the sections had no new content for months.

Student writing staff

CampusJ's staff of student reporters covered the Jewish news on thirty or more campuses, including American University, George Washington University, McGill, Northwestern, Rutgers and Washington University, by reporting for campus-specific school homepages (blogs).

Syndication

A portion of CampusJ's content was syndicated by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.[2]

Big stories

In the spring of 2005, CampusJ broke the story that The New York Times had negotiated a deal with Columbia University administrators to exclude student response in an article on academic bias in exchange for exclusive access to a report.[3]
