Badger Herald
News & Media Agency in Madison, WI

In Madison, four students sat at the Brathaus on State Street arguing over how to better record and combat the protests run-amok on campus. The idea was to create an alternative voice on a campus, a voice that would cast the protests in another light and challenge common ideology. Gathered in the back of the Brathaus, the Herald's founders, Patrick S. Korten, Nick Loniello, Mike Kelly and Wade Smith, debated late into the night about how to establish such a voice.
