Follow 20 journalist-turned-entrepreneurs from around the world, as they build brand new media ventures through the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism.

In September 2010, the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism established itself as a leader in the emerging field of entrepreneurial journalism with the creation of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism along with the nation’s first Master of Arts in Entrepreneurial Journalism.

Our goal is to help create a sustainable future for quality journalism. We believe that future will be shaped by entrepreneurs who develop new business models and innovative projects – either working on their own, with startups, or within traditional media companies.

By the end of the term, each student will develop his or her own startup project, in close consultation with faculty advisers and expert mentors.
