The Media Line Press and Policy Student Program remote track is an innovative opportunity for students to globalize their educational experience by connecting to an active news bureau located in what is arguably the world’s most contentious region – the Middle East -- studying journalism and public policy under the mentorship of veteran journalists.
The Media Line aims to mentor students who will become tomorrow’s journalists and policy-makers, providing them with a realistic portrayal of issues and events, an accurate understanding of the nations of the Middle East and their role on the world stage and the skills to ensure accurate, fair and complete coverage of the issues and events occurring in the Middle East. This, along with a thorough knowledge of Israel, the Palestinians and the region’s residents that will impact on the quality of reporting from the region as TML alumni take up positions in the nation’s newsrooms.
Partnering with The Media Line, the American news agency specializing in coverage of the Middle East, colleges and universities select highly motivated students from each discipline (journalism, public policy, international relations/political science) to work under TML supervision for a semester, writing articles relating to local-global issues of the Middle East. Students’ work product will be posted on themedialine.org and in some cases will earn a byline and placement in a newspaper or online portal.
