Journalism

Our program is ideally located in the media capital of the world and in the vibrant neighborhood of Harlem. We draw upon the rich resources of the city and the diversity of our community to enlighten and challenge our students. They use New York City as a laboratory, exploring the city’s neighborhoods, government, art and culture. They have frequent contact with working journalists, industry professionals and community leaders who offer opportunities for networking, mentoring and internships. We also provide students with hands-on experience as reporters, editors and photographers for our award-winning newspaper, The Campus, and at our state-of-the-art radio station, WHCR.

The CCNY journalism program is a minor, which allows flexibility and options. Some students become professional journalists--reporters, columnists, authors, magazine editors, producers, documentary filmmakers, and digital specialists—at media outlets across the country and around the world. Others continue to graduate school for deeper, more concentrated training. And still others learn to think and write like journalists and take their training into fields like public relations, advertising, medicine, science, law, government, teaching, politics, business and the arts.
