Columbia Graduate School of Journalism
Job Fair: Saturday, March 29, 2008

The Graduate School of Journalism at
Columbia University seeks international
news media companies to attend its
annual Job Opportunity Conference
on our New York City campus to meet
promising new journalists to work as
reporters and editors in newsrooms,
either in the U.S. or abroad.

Our alumni work as journalists at news
organizations like Reuters, Dow Jones,
Associated Press, The Irish Times,
El Pais (Spain), the Times of India,
the International Herald Tribune,
Clarin (Argentina), the Times of London,
The Ottawa Citizen, CBC, Gulf News
in Dubai, Moscow Times and others.
Our students are multi-lingual and
include international scholars, many
have traveled abroad extensively and
all are eager to take jobs all over the
globe or to report for companies with
bureaus in the United States.

Companies that don't have newsroom
vacancies to fill right now can meet
candidates for jobs that will come open
later. Beginning this year, all of
our students are trained in basic
multimedia skills; dozens more attain a
high-level of multimedia expertise as
online media concentrators. More
than 70 of our graduates have won the
Pulitzer Prize; dozens more,
including 41 who have taken popular
book-publishing seminar, have
written books or landed book contracts.
In the past four years, five
Columbia grads in television and radio
have won the duPont Awards.

Our Master of Science in Journalism
students, and our Master of Arts in
Journalism Program take experienced
journalists and over a year providing
specialized training in one of four areas:
business, arts/culture, science/health and
politics. Students in our Stabile Center

-assisted reporting, records searches and
in-depth enterprise techniques to
