Why advertise in Linguafranca?

We follow the working world of scholars and academics:
its ideals and energies, its professional realities, as well as its flesh-and-blood consequences.

Our tone is provocative. We begin with the attitude that there are some academic pretensions worth puncturing.

Our readers recognize Linguafranca as the one magazine that understands the working academic world.

Linguafranca is the connection to the ivory tower.

It's Smarter:

In our six-year existence, it's been nominated by the National Magazine Award three times for general excellence and its down-to-earth, creative voice.

It's Bolder:

It's the only magazine covering academia that's fiercely independent and can turn controversy into interesting journalism.

It's Necessary:

It's the only publication that lists the hirings and tenurings of university faculty, that covers the inside scoop on academic publishing, and successfully bridges the gap between popular and academic culture.

"A small magazine with larger-than-life influence"
