Spend this summer in the lively and trendy East Village, exploring your interest in journalism and delving into the exciting lifestyle that is uniquely New York. Treat yourself to the ultimate New York-centric journalism experience, where you’ll focus on how the best do it as you learn how to – or improve the way – you do it yourself.
This summer, we are offering eight stimulating classes that focus on reporting and reviewing the style, culture, and happenings of one of the world’s most exhilarating cities.
With classes taking place Tuesday through Thursday, you’ve got long weekends to further explore everything New York has to offer. Each class has its own time slot, allowing you to take a couple of complementary courses..
Among our offerings this summer, we are featuring a course on reporting the style of New York, taught by William Van Meter, who is a regular contributor to the New York Times Style section and writes for Harper’s Bazaar and the Wall Street Journal, among others. Other courses feature food, pop music and culture, taught by NYU’s world-class faculty and working industry professionals.
