Announcing News Summer School

Join leaders from across the news business for a free, four-week bootcamp to help you build a career in journalism during these unprecedented times.

You will hear from:

• The editor of Politico Carrie Budoff Brown on covering the White House and the 2020 Election
• New York Times media columnist and former Buzzfeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith on “reporting in public” in the digital age
• Fast Company editor-in-chief Stephanie Mehta and creative director Mike Schnaidt on digital design, creativity and the future of magazines
• Nicholas Carlson, global editor-in-chief of Insider, on getting a journalism job and finding your beat
• Peter Kafka, the host of Recode Media, and Lydia Polgreen, head of content from Gimlet, on the media business, and how to master podcasting
• Kevin Delaney, Quartz founder and New York Times Senior Editor, on how to innovate at the intersection of news and product 
• The Information founder Jessica Lessin and Evan Smith, founder of the Texas Tribune on news entrepreneurship
• And many more…
