Mission Statement
Columbia Journalism School’s purpose is to educate students from all over the world to become conscientious, accomplished professional journalists. The school equips them to perform a vital and challenging function: through evidence-based reporting, to find out the truths of complicated situations, usually under time constraint, and communicate them to the public in a clear, engaging fashion. The school also produces and disseminates research about the changing contexts — legal, economic, technological, social — in which journalism takes place, with the aim of helping to shape the future of the profession and of training leaders in scholarship about our field.
Technology/Equipment/Facilities
The operations of the Journalism School exist within our building, Pulitzer Hall. It is a historic building, which creates opportunities and challenges. We regularly update our classrooms, studios, public spaces and equipment in order to stay up-to-date with the needs of our educational communities. Our guiding principle is to provide the students what they need in order to get the best education possible.
