IvyGate is a blog and online news source covering news and gossip at Ivy League universities. The site is written and edited by students and recent graduates.〔 == History == IvyGate was founded in 2006 by Columbia University alumni Chris Beam and Nick Summers. The blog covers the "follies" of Ivy League schools, such as a Princeton University class president accused of setting a squirrel on fire, a University of Pennsylvania graduate student who turned out to be in prison, and a Yale Skull and Bones member arrested for burning an American Flag. ] IvyGate rose to prominence through its investigative reporting of the details of the "Impossible is Nothing" Internet meme, concerning an impossibly boastful video résumé produced by then Yale student Aleksey Vayner. It was a nominee for the 2006 Weblog Award for "Best Educational Blog". A minor controversy arose in December 2006 involving Beam's father, prominent ''Boston Globe'' columnist Alex Beam. The younger Beam had covered a Brown University professor who wrote prolific letters to the editor in the ''New York Times''. Five days later the elder Beam covered the same story in his column, without attribution, leading to humorous but well-publicized complaints of plagiarism. Beam is currently a reporter for the online magazine ''Slate'', and his fellow Columbia graduate Nick Summers is a reporter for ''Newsweek'' magazine. The site was run by J.K. Trotter and Peter Jacobs, now at Gawker and Business Insider respectively, in 2012-2013. In 2013, it was run by Bijan Stephen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IvyGate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
