The Hanover Review is the 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that publishes The Dartmouth Review, Dartmouth's only independent student publication.Founded in 1980 by a number of staffers from the College’s daily newspaper, it quickly rose to national prominence for its coverage of campus social issues and the provocative political positions it has sometimes adopted. Although the paper has frequently been praised for the quality of its writing– most recently by Dartmouth’s 17th President, Jim Yong Kim – it is perhaps most famous for having spawned a movement of politically conservative U.S. college newspapers that would come to include The Yale Free Press, The Stanford Review, The Harvard Salient, The California Review, The Princeton Tory, and The Cornell Review. The Dartmouth Review has also had a profound impact on the national conservative movement as a whole. Past staffers have gone on to occupy prominent positions in the Reagan and Bush Administrations, write for a number of leading publications, and author best-selling political works. Some of the most famous include Pulitzer-Prize-winner Joseph Rago of The Wall Street Journal, The New Criterion’s James Panero, author Dinesh D’Souza, talk-show host Laura Ingraham, The Wall Street Journal’s Hugo Restall, and Hoover Institute research fellow, Peter Robinson. Author, columnist, and former Nixon and Reagan speechwriter, Jeffrey Hart, was also instrumental in The Review’s founding and is a long-time board member and advisor. As of 2018, the paper has 10,000 off-campus subscribers, distributes a further 4,000 newspapers on campus, and claims 80,000 unique viewers per month on its website. It also has a large social media presence and has generated a substantial Twitter and Facebook following with its frequent tweets and posts.
