Intellectual takeout is charlemagne institutes webzine geared towards a younger american audience. Established in 2009, intellectual takeout (ito) has hundreds of thousands of unique readers annually and millions of views of content via social media and email outreach and communications. Over the course of a year, ito will publish over 1,000 articles promoted to hundreds of thousands of followers via social media and email. Our webzine helps educate our readers on the foundations, traditions, principles, and history of america and western civilization. At the same time, ito deconstructs modern and past ideologies, showing the faulty logic and the disastrous results. Throughout all our publications, charlemagne institute draws a clear line between our editorial decisions and our donors and board of directors. While donors may direct funding to specific projects, such as the alcuin internship, they are not directing the writing of publishing of our content. We publish a wide range of content that is meant to foster discussion and further intellectual discovery.

Through the print magazine as well as social media outlets, our website, tv and radio interviews, and podcasts, chronicles examines and analyzes current events from the perspectives of history, theology, literature, and philosophy. Influencing the influential, over a third of its subscribers hold advanced degrees. Its readership includes novelists, filmmakers, university professors, teachers, homeschooling mothers, priests and pastors, captains of industry, government researchers, journalists, think tank leaders, lawyers, bishops, judges, bureaucrats, and politicians. In 2020, we released our first volume of remembering the right, a special compilation issue of articles dedicated to sharing the wisdom of past conservative and western intellectuals.
