The New Inquiry

The New Inquiry states they are “a space for discussion that aspires to enrich cultural and public life by putting all available resources—both digital and material—toward the promotion and exploration of ideas.” In a 2011 profile of the nascent group, the New York Times called them “New York’s Literary Cubs.” Regardless of labels, TNI has gathered some of the brightest writers, bloggers and literary critics under one roof for the relaunch of thenewinquiry.com.

Krate worked closely with the TNI team to develop a new website that would meet the needs of a growing staff, aggregate multiple blogs and columns, and provide a gateway for readers to subscribe to their magazine. Media artist Imp Kerr created the design. The CMS features a tailored backend with workflow management tools, custom margin notes for posts, and integration with Amazon Payments for online subscriptions. Since the launch, TNI’s popularity has soared, and with an ever-longer list of contributors publishing content regularly, and their social media feeds communicating with over 15,000 users daily.
