In the spring semester of 2002, a group of students started a new student-run political magazine on campus titled: The Hill: Chapel Hill Political Review.

The Hill is a medium for analysis of state, national, and international politics. This publication is meant to serve as the middle ground (and a battleground) for political thought on campus where people can present their beliefs and test their ideas. A high premium is placed on having a publication that is not affiliated with any party or organization, but rather is openly nonpartisan on the whole. Hence, the purpose of The Hill is to provide the university community with a presentation of both neutral and balanced analysis of political ideas, events and trends. This means that, on one hand, the publication will feature articles that are politically moderate in-depth analyses of politics and political ideas. These articles might be analytical, descriptive claims that draw conclusions about the political landscape. On the other, The Hill will feature various articles that take political stances on issues.  Sarcasm, baiting, fallacy, and assumption negate the purposes of this organization.

We are currently looking for staff members (writers, editors, etc.) to work on this publication with us. If you think you might be interested, please contact us or submit the application.

 This website is a work in progress.  Check out our old website at http://www.ibiblio.org/thehill/ for more information and archives of past issues.
