Overview
Overview:
Our entrepreneurial journalism fellowship — our core program — is a unique, 15-week, intensive immersion into the process of building a media startup. Each year we select a small group of outstanding individuals who spend January through May with us developing their own entrepreneurial journalism projects (sites, apps, services, products, etc). Here’s more on the curriculum. We also administer elective courses for graduate students at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
Participants earn an advanced certificate in Entrepreneurial Journalism — the first such certificate in the country — through a combination of coursework, practical training and building something new. Students who also complete the three-semester M.A. program at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism earn a Master of Arts degree in Entrepreneurial Journalism, the nation’s first such degree.

Spud’s Thoughts:
I honestly don’t know a ton about this group – I dug them up after some researching on new forms of journalism emerging. If you have any personal experience with the program, I’d love to hear from you to get your thoughts on how beneficial it was. It is a paid program, but they do say they have scholarships available.
