"Crisp: The online mag from some of the creators of the Trincoll Journal.
They started it after they left, and I've tuned in regularly to see what
envelopes they're pushing."
- U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, online
"Crisp is a really promising publication...a diverse mix of content,
including everything from fiction and art to an interview with Netscape's under30
overachiever Marc Andreesen and the diary of a struggling actress from Chicago.
Note the groovy server pushes that have been included. Things go in and out of
focus and jump around and blink. Neat. There are listings for volunteers and
help-wanted ads, too, so here's one e-zine that can actually help you get things
done."
- PC MAGAZINE, online
"Crisp is a friendly, bright new 'zine designed for 'under30s' who want to

"Crisp offers a fascinating look at the future of digital publishing - where
the line between publishers, writers, readers, and sources is blurred beyond

"Crisp, in fact, is a paradigm of the New York Web publishing venture, in
which creative types take a fresh idea, utilize their New York media and
advertising connections, then work day and night transforming a personal vision
into a reality."

writer on Internet-related issues, for NYC.COM

"Bob Dole knows how critical the youth vote will be in this election. That's
why he's spoken to colleges, high schools and other groups of young people across
the country, and that's why he's honored to be taking part in the Crisp
interactive debate."
- Media release from Christina Martin, DEPUTY PRESS
SECRETARY FOR DOLE/KEMP '96
"What's really interesting is that a group called Crisp, a website at
www.crispzine.com, is conducting an online debate between the two presidential
candidates, Dole and Clinton, and over 50 percent of the questions that came up
were about entitlements and the deficit. So young adults are focused on the same
issues that older adults are focused on..."

"...within two years, the number of women online will eclipse the presence of
their male counterparts. Which bodes well for sites such as Women's Wire,
WOWFactor, and Crisp's Website Network...these sites are more libertine,
free-flowing and passionate in their conversations about and between women. They
are strong in content and attitude and focus intensely on issues that are
important to women... Strong and direct, these sites are feeding a demand for the
unfiltered truth."
- ABC NEWS online
"Not every site matches the success of Crisp. For every strong online
publication, dozens more must lurk in the dark corners of the cyberspace
newsstand, rarely thumbed through or perhaps not even noticed. ... Appreciative
readers translate into eyeballs for advertisers, which means money for Crisp.
