10 Days
NEW YORK, NY, Fordham University
WASHINGTON, DC, Georgetown University

Explore print, broadcast, and digital media.
These days, the media is the moment. Events are recorded as they occur with little time for analysis and interpretation. And with the advent of citizen journalism in new formats like YouTube and blogging, the media has changed considerably in the last few years alone. Get a firsthand look at this fast-paced field and learn how the various areas of the media differ in reporting and presenting the news. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to meet and learn from some of the leading journalists, media figures, and educators influencing our word. Understand how the media shapes our reality, and how you can shape the media.

Understand the critical role journalists play in our democracy.
Journalists have always served as a check on government and business by objectively reporting happenings to the public. In the Media & journalism conference, you’ll examine the way media works, and debate the practices, legal ramifications, and ethics involved in capturing, framing, and presenting a story.

Research, write, and report your story in the JOURNALISM SIMULATION.
Once you’ve studied the role of media, put theory into practice and go into the field to research and report a story. You’ll identify a relevant issue and frame your story while making decisions about objectivity and entertainment value. You’ll conduct interviews, review similar stores, and present your ideas to your Editor-in-Chief for approval. With constructive workshops on reporting skills, fact checking, and pyramid writing style, a Pulitzer Prize – winning story is in the works in no time.
