CRAIG NEWMARK GRADUATE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM—October 4, 2024—The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY is developing an innovative high school journalism education curriculum as part of Journalism for All — a public-private effort to bring equitable journalism opportunities to New York City public schools.

The NYC Youth Journalism Coalition is now accepting applications for the program, which aims to provide three years of hands-on support to an initial cohort of 30 public high schools starting in early 2025. The launch coincides with the introduction of legislation in the City Council pertaining to high school journalism programs.

Selected schools will receive the new high school journalism curriculum, which is being produced under a grant from The Charles H. Revson Foundation. The 30 schools will also get paid professional development, startup funds, in-kind support from nonprofit service providers, and paid summer internship positions for students seeking out-of-school journalism opportunities, under the Coalition’s plan.
