At New York University, we believe that journalism has a serious public mission, and can make a difference in the world. We want to educate those who agree. Opportunities abound in the media world, but the opportunity to do compelling work that informs, engages, and matters to the societies in which we live—this is what drives our faculty, motivates our students, and shapes our basic approach.
