Student Handbook 1 Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY Student Handbook 1 201 8 - 2019 Message from the Dean Dear Students: As we start our thirteenth year, I want to welcome the Class of 2019. We’re thrilled to have you here! As with our previous classes, you are smart, enterprising and diverse. You went to a wide variety of schools – from top- ranked private colleges such as Princeton, Yale, Columbia, and Brown, to excellent public universities such as CUNY, SUNY, the University of Michigan and UCLA, to more highly specialized schools like the Rhode Island School of Design. For the first time, your class will include a cohort of students who are enrolled in our MA in Social Journalism. (Previously, the students in that program began their studies in January.) We look forward to seeing closer integration between those two programs. The Class of 2019 comes from a wide variety of backgrounds. Yes, many of you have worked or interned at newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations, or websites. But your class also includes two stand-up comics, an anthropologist, a sommelier who has also been a whole-animal butcher, and a corporate lawyer who moonlights as a musician. About 14 percent of you hail from countries outside the U.S., including Cuba, Gambia, Ireland, and Egypt. Partly as a result of these diverse backgrounds, you come here with different journalistic experiences and skills. Our job is to challenge all of you at your own level and raise you from there. Submit story ideas to our School’s online news service. Add audio and video to a text-based story. Or sign up for courses in computer coding, data visualization or cinematography. In sum, go for it! We are here not to create just another journalism school. We are here to build a great school, one of the best in the world. That is one reason we recently secured a $20 million gift from Craig Newmark, the founder of craigslist, to endow the school on a permanent basis. Strengthening our financial footing ensures that our young School will continue to stand strong for many years to come. As you know, this is a critical time for journalism. We are in the midst of a profound loss of trust in institutions, including the press. Our profession is simultaneously being transformed by dramatic shifts in technology and a business model that is under great financial stress. Despite all these pressures, we see on a daily basis that journalism has never been more important in holding power to account. We want our School to make a difference. We have a constantly renewed curriculum, a strong faculty, a cutting-edge facility, and we aim to add a dose of fresh thinking. We wouldn’t be here if we thought journalism was dead. Change is necessary, but I hope the values and standards that have distinguished our profession – a commitment to accuracy and fairness, in particular – will endure. We are out to forge a synthesis between the best of the old world and the best of the new. I hope we’ll have a lot of fun during our time together. And I hope, years from now, that you’ll look back at your experience here as one of the great turning points of your professional life – the launching pad for a very successful career. Good luck to you all.

Journalism is facing many crises, not the least of which is a loss of readership and perceived relevance to its public. Presented with an ever-expanding array of media with which to interact, the public is more difficult to attract to a socially relevant issue or a politically important story.

  • Shaping 21St Century Journalism Leveraging a “Teaching Hospital Model” in Journalism Education by C.W
    New America Foundation Shaping 21st Century Journalism Leveraging a “Teaching Hospital Model” in Journalism Education By C.W. Anderson, Tom Glaisyer, Jason Smith and Marika Rothfeld, October 2011 Report Summary As the media industry evolves to meet the challenges of the emerging digitally-networked era, so too are journalism schools. Democracy and healthy local communities require this evolution. As the media industry reshapes itself, a tremendous opportunity emerges for America‖s journalism programs. Neither news organizations nor journalism programs will disappear, but both must rethink their missions, particularly now that many more people can be journalists (at least, on an occasional basis) and many more people produce media than ever before. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State Journalism education programs have an University (Photo credit: Sean Horan/Flickr) opportunity to become “anchor institutions” in the emerging informational ecosystem. Many schools have long embraced elements of this vision, but satisfying the information needs of communities will require schools to take on all the challenges of engaging as serious and valuable producers of meaningful journalism. To date, some programs have avoided or shirked these responsibilities, failing to leverage broadcast licenses as part of their educational mission or inadequately supporting the pursuit of meaningful journalism by students. A move to embrace a community news mission would add a powerful momentum to the recommendation of the Knight Commission Report on the Information Needs of Democracies that “higher education, community and nonprofit institutions [should increase their role] as hubs of journalistic activity and other information-sharing for local communities.” This call was echoed in the recently issued Federal Communications Commission report on the changing media landscape in a broadband age.

  • Breaking the Spin Cycle: Teaching Complexity in the 19.3
    Lane Glisson 461 Breaking the Spin Cycle: Teaching Complexity in the 19.3. Age of Fake News portal Lane Glisson publication, abstract: This article describes a discussion-based approach for teaching college students to identify the characteristics of ethical journalism and scholarly writing, by comparingfor fake news with credible information in a strategically planned slideshow. Much has been written on the need to instruct our students about disinformation. This librarian shares a lesson plan that engages students’ critical thinking skills by using a blend of humor, analysis, and a compelling visual presentation. The teaching method is contextualized by research on the distrust of the press and scientific evidence since the rise of hyper-partisan cable news, Russian trollaccepted farms, and alternative facts. and Introduction edited, Throughout our culture, the old notions of “truth” and “knowledge” are in danger of being replaced by the new ones of “opinion,” “perception” and “credibility.” copy Michio Kakutani1 What if truth is not an absolute or a relative, but a skill—a muscle, like memory, that collectively we have neglected so much that we have grown measurably weaker at using it?

JOURNALISM By Tom Deats HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA By TomDeats Associate Professor of Journalism University of North Dakota THE EARLY YEARS Almost from the day the University of North Dakota opened in 1884, UNO students showed an interest and enthusiam for journalistic activities that for many years went largely unmatched by either the university administration or the faculty. Within two years of the beginning of classes at the university, the students were publishing their own "newspaper," a magazine-style journal titled University News. There were no classes in journalism at UNO. No academic credit was given for working on the student publication. And no thought was being given to starting a journalism program. But the students wanted a "newspaper" so they published their own. The first issue of University News was largely the work of student A.R.

First of all I’d like to thank my committee chair Dr. David Craig. Without his guidance, patience and prayers for my well-being I don’t know where I would be today. I’d like to also thank my other committee members: Dr. Eric Kramer, Dr. Julie Jones, Dr. Jill Edy, and Dr. Ralph Beliveau. I would also like to thank former member Dr. Namkee Park for making me feel normal for researching video games. Second I’d like to thank my colleagues at the University of Oklahoma who were there in the trenches with me for years: Phil Todd, David Ferman, Kenna Griffin, Anna Klueva, Christal Johnson, Jared Schroeder, Chad Nye, Katie Eaves, Erich Sommerfeldt, Aimei Yang, Josh Bentley, Tara Buehner, Yousuf Mohammad and Nur Uysal. I also want to extend a special thanks to Bryan Carr, who possibly is a bigger nerd than me and a great help to me in finishing this study.

Consonant with its Master Plan, the University, since 1999, has been pursuing a “flagship environment” model fostering national promi- nence in targeted undergraduate arts and science programs as well as professional and graduate programs. The flagship environment draws on the multitude of resources available to the system and on the rich- ness of the colleges’ combined strengths to foster greater opportunities within a more integrated university.
