Overview

As with more traditional Journalism - Social graduate programs, students have the opportunity to hone their reporting, research and multimedia skills.

Learning outcomes

But the social journalism program has a special emphasis on learning how to listen, build relationships, and produce tangible impact. Students practice the techniques needed to build sustainable media businesses by growing loyalty and re-establishing trust with audiences.

Students at The City University of New York choose a community to serve throughout the program, broadly defined and not limited by geography. They culminate their experience with an independent project and/or an internship. They work with some of the leading practitioners of community engagement and have the opportunity to participate in projects in partnership with leading news organizations like ProPublica and The Guardian, among others.
