Why Our Campus Needed The Madison Federalist
Read the full letter to the editor in The Daily Cardinal
On a campus formerly dominated by progressive student media, The Madison Federalist has made a big difference. Since launching in October 2024, we have published more than 100 articles containing original journalism or insightful commentary. In just over a year, we went from being a small blog to interviewing UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin. We have published four print editions, greatly expanded our team, and gained national attention.
Our original reporting has been featured in outlets including National Review, Fox News, the New York Post, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Daily Cardinal and Badger Herald have also each covered stories we broke. Just last week, we recorded an interview with former Governor Scott Walker for our fifth print magazine and held our biggest writers’ meeting ever.
