Last week, CUNY’s Craig Newmark Journalism School announced the launch of its Criminal Justice Reporting Initiative.
Created with support from The Tow Foundation and in collaboration with THE CITY, this program will offer a two-day workshop for mid-career journalists and a 14-week course for J-School students.
“We are thrilled that The Tow Foundation has chosen Newmark J-School to house this criminal justice initiative,” said Dean Sarah Bartlett. “We share The Tow Foundation’s mission of wanting to train the next generation of criminal justice journalists to identify where our system is broken and produce stories about it in a compelling and meaningful way.”
