Founding
The Columbia Political Review was created in 2001 by leaders of the Columbia Political Union, including its general manager, Yoni Appelbaum, and its publisher, Jaime Sneider. The first managing editor was Adam B. Kushner.[1] The early magazine featured book reviews, personal essays, opinion pieces, in-depth analysis and interviews with an influential figure. It sought to foster political discussion on campus and become a platform for diverse opinion. It was published two to three times a semester. The Columbia Political Review saw its largest period of growth between 2001 and 2007, when circulation grew to 4,500.[2]
