One of the cited sources, the Hollywood Reporter article by Lia Haberman, is authored by an individual who is also listed on REACH Nationals' Industry Advisory Board. I am disclosing this for full transparency. The article appears in a major reliable publication with editorial oversight and covers multiple organizations rather than REACH Nationals exclusively, but reviewers may wish to consider the relationship when evaluating the source's independence.

Resubmission: new independent Hollywood Reporter coverage and corrected founding history
Latest comment: 13 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion
The draft has been updated and resubmitted via AfC. Summary of changes for reviewers: (1) Added the July 2026 feature in The Hollywood Reporter by Avery Stone ("Creator U: Inside the Influencer Frat"), which provides significant independent coverage. Unlike the 2024 Hollywood Reporter piece previously discussed on this page (whose author has a disclosed connection to the organization's advisory board), the new article's author has no connection to REACH Nationals. (2) Corrected the founding history per this source: the original USC club was founded in 2017 by other students; Dylan Huey joined in 2020, became president in 2022, and founded the national parent organization in 2023 — the previous draft text overstated this. (3) Added sourced details on chapter growth, selectivity, activities, and alumni, keeping wording neutral. My conflict of interest remains disclosed on my user page and via the connected contributor template. Tobiasperkins (talk) 21:59, 24 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
