Accuracy in Academia Launches New Interactive Website
Tuesday, November 03, 2009
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Accuracy in Academia has launched a new website at www.academia.org, which combines content from the organization's previous academia.org and campusreportonline.net websites. The site's new features include a video section, social networking capabilities, and sections such as Current Wisdom and the Most Ridiculous Item of the Week.
"This will give us a chance to give readers more information in what we hope is an entertaining user-friendly format. Also, it will give people who did not get a chance to make some of our events in the past the opportunity to watch them on the new site. We post 72 articles a month and have already seen our traffic more than double," said AIA executive director Mal Kline.
The new website embraces social networking, integrating AIA's Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube accounts. In addition, videos and podcasts are incorporated into the new site. There is also a weekly poll that guests can answer and see the results.
The website also features daily blogs, articles, guest columns, and book reviews written by AIA staff. The events section includes information on upcoming events, such as the November 5 lecture with Steven F. Hayward, author of The Age of Reagan: The Conservative Counterrevolution. Videos of previous events are also available.
One of the website's new sections, Current Wisdom, is a place where daily quotes from authors, professors, and policy experts are posted. The Most Ridiculous Item of the Week highlights absurd current events that are occurring at schools around the country.
Another new feature is an online donation form powered by Click & Pledge. Visitors can easily make online donations which help AIA maintain www.academia.org, print and distribute thousands of Campus Report newsletters, hold seminars and special events, and provide internships to train students in research and writing.
Accuracy in Academia is a non-profit higher education watchdog group that monitors whether students are receiving a balanced education. AIA was founded in 1985 as a division of press watchdog Accuracy in Media. For more information, please visit www.academia.org.
