I recommend this program to anyone who has an interest in journalism, working in a news setting will make you realize what your goals are in life and give you more experience in the work field!
NYCJ gave me the opportunity to be in the newsroom of a station in the number one market. My skills were immediately put to the test and I grew as a storyteller everyday. New York City will always have a place in my heart as I pursue journalism after graduation!
The NYCJ program opened my eyes to a new world of opportunities. It taught me important life lessons while helping me build lifelong friendships. Never give up on your dreams.
NYCJ had a huge impact on my life. Coming from a small town in Mississippi, the program exposed me to new ways of thinking and helped me understand that everyone has a story.
The courses I took during the program along with the internship I held at a local newspaper taught me invaluable skills that I’ve carried with me through my following internships and into my first post-grad job.
This place is the pinnacle of culture and storytelling. If you want to give NYC a test run, say yes to NYCJ. You’ll leave having discovered more about yourself and your passions.
I will look back on this semester for years to come as a key period that has shaped all aspects of my life
