We’re building tomorrow’s newsrooms
The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is the nation’s premier mass communications school. We’re a test bed for media innovation, and we’re developing the storytelling approaches — and the storytellers — that media companies want.
The Cronkite School’s acclaimed “teaching hospital” model of education offers students real-world, hands-on training in live environments under the supervision of top professional journalists: Reporters and producers embed in Cronkite News, a multiplatform daily news operation with bureaus in Phoenix, Washington and Los Angeles, and reporting opportunities in both English and Spanish. Our 223,000-square-foot building features four television studios, newsrooms, 17 fully loaded editing rooms, classrooms, computer labs and Arizona PBS, one of the nation’s leading public media organizations, with four broadcast channels and an array of digital platforms. With professional programs in digital media, public affairs reporting, broadcast news, digital innovation, sports reporting, Spanish-language news and more, Cronkite offers a highly specialized education (and the skills employers seek) for the digital media world of today and tomorrow.
