WHO: College students with or without schooling or experience in journalism skills against a backdrop of New York City’s East Village and the professional newsroom atmosphere created by The New York Times-NYU Journalism hyperlocal community news site, The Local East Village.
WHAT: This college-credit program offers two summer sessions of six weeks each. Students who elect Hyperlocal Newsroom will be grouped by level once you arrive, with special grouping arrangements for those with no prior journalism experience or training as well as for the most advanced. Multimedia skills training is incorporated into the course, which meets two days a week. For NYU Journalism students, the course can be taken either for one or both summer sessions and can fulfill one or two (depending on if you take four or eight credits), of these three elective rubrics: Elective Reporting Topics, Methods and Practice, or Production and Publication.
WHERE: The NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, 20 Cooper Square, East Village, New York City
WHY: Find out if journalism is your thing in a real-world environment or hone your skills if you already know it’s your passion.
WHEN: Summer Session I (May 21-June 29, 2012) and Summer Session II (July 2-August 10, 2012). Some courses are offered both sessions, some only in one session or the other, so please double check the information below.
HOW: Once the application for 2012 is up, we’ll post a link to it here. Please note that there is a separate application for 2012 housing, due by late March, and we will post that link as soon as it is live, too.
