Please note that we do not accept transfer credits from other schools. The core courses stress the foundation skills and knowledge that all good journalists must have, including reporting, writing and editing skills, and analytic thinking needed to deal with complex subjects. Other core courses cover journalistic ethics and legal issues, broadcast fundamentals, and fundamentals of interactive media such as data journalism, multimedia presentation, web site design, and audience engagement strategies.
Students studying for the M. We also offer a bilingual variation of the M. Students have the flexibility to enroll in the number of credits that suits their personal situation. Below are three models based on a cap of 15, 12, or 9 credits of coursework per semester.
Each of these models would qualify students as full-time in the program. However, students are not limited by these models. We are looking for media leaders who are passionate about driving change and innovation — whether they work in legacy news operations or at digital outlets. The program is open to candidates from the editorial, product, business, and technology sides of media organizations, and we are committed to a diverse cohort. This is not an entry-level program.
To ensure the greatest learning impact, participants are expected to have some leadership experience. Participants with strategic leadership responsibilities but no direct reports will also be considered. You can take a look at our cohort here. Yes, absolutely. Part of the mission of this executive program is to bring together a diverse, international cohort of media leaders that can profit from each others experience.
If you are an international applicant, the school will help you apply for the appropriate visa to study in the US. Please note that the applicant pays all visa fees. We can not guarantee admission to the United States or the granting of a visa. We ask that participants enter the program with a willingness to collaborate, share learnings, and mentor others.
Attendance during residency weeks is mandatory. The one year, limited-residency program structure is designed to help working participants balance their busy career and the intense studies, while also allowing time to build the professional and personal networks. On top of that, participants should plan to spend an average of 10 hours a week throughout the year to review study materials, read articles and cases in preparation for in-person modules and webinars and work on a capstone project.
Classes and workshops will be led by Newmark J-School faculty, including Professor Jeff Jarvis and Program Director Anita Zielina, as well as a diverse and experienced group of media innovation practitioners.
Regular hangouts with international media innovators will offer insights into best practices from around the globe. Each participant will also be paired with a coach who will provide individualized feedback and guidance on a capstone project. This does not include housing or travel. Several full and partial needs-based scholarships will be awarded to successful applicants in the cohort.
If you are considering applying and want to know more about financial support, please contact us. Over the long term, we will build a network of executives that the school will steward. The following iteration of the program will take place in fall The program is fully online, so students may live anywhere in the world.
Students should expect to spend about four hours each week on live classes; three to four hours on learning materials, including readings and videos; and a few hours each week on self-paced work on their own ventures. Most material is asynchronous to allow maximum flexibility and independence. Two sessions each week are live, but are recorded for later viewing. This is rooted in our understanding that students live in various time zones and are bound by a variety of personal and professional commitments.
We are looking for self-motivated, high-potential individuals who have shown a capacity for ingenuity. We accept candidates who already have a niche journalism project or those who have identified a community to serve or a problem to solve with a media-related product or service.
We welcome applicants from all over the world, all professional fields, ages, and diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. Applicants might be employed at media companies or self-employed. Minimum requirements include English fluency, a willingness and capacity to work independently on a niche media project, experience in journalism or media, and a tolerance for risk, uncertainty, and occasional failure.
Our program serves independent journalists, so we are not an ideal program for someone developing a public relations project or a community service organization. We focus on the development of niche journalism ventures rather than helping people develop large traditional organizations. Participants in our program participate in two two-hour live sessions each week, in addition to devoting a few hours each week to program materials.
So those who expect to have difficulty carving out that time on a weekly basis may not be a good fit. Multiple scholarships are available. Scholarships have been provided in the past by:. Participants receive a personalized certificate issued by the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY — validating that they met the requirements and successfully completed the Entrepreneurial Journalism Creators Program, the first such certificate in the world.
Classes are taught by leading practitioners, professors, and industry experts. These include founders who have developed their own innovative and sustainable niche journalism ventures. We also bring in many guest speakers and instructors, ranging from startup founders and CEOs to industry veterans from across the journalism spectrum. Early career, high-potential journalists have also participated.
Many are focused on market gaps ignored by larger media organizations. Read more about those in the most recent cohort , the spring cohort , and our first cohort. When concluding the program, participants wrote these Medium posts reflecting on their entrepreneurial journeys. Previous in-person entrepreneurial journalism programs at the Newmark J-School have welcomed more than people from 37 countries since Many alums have developed successful startup ventures including Narrative.
By the end of the program, you will have designed your own niche venture or niche product, detailing both the audience and making the case for its business success.
