Cronkite’s home at the ASU California Center
At ASU’s flagship Los Angeles location, students can access internships and learning opportunities only available in a global city, and world-class faculty and innovative media projects only available at the Cronkite School. The ASU California Center hosts the Cronkite Content Studio, where students grow and monetize audiences with strategic content, and Cronkite News‘ LA Bureau, where digital and broadcast students create award-winning news and sports content. The building is also home to Cronkite’s MS in Digital Strategy —a graduate degree that nurtures digital marketing leaders—and the MA in Narrative and Emerging Media, which develops storytellers specializing in AR, VR, immersive and emerging media techniques.
The heart of ASU’s California Center location is the Herald Examiner Building, located at 11th Street and Broadway. Commissioned by William Randolph Hearst and designed by architect Julia Morgan, the building has stood in downtown LA since 1914. For decades, the building housed the Hearst Corporation’s Herald Examiner newspaper; now, it’s a fitting home for the Cronkite School, as well as video/audio editing bays, a broadcast studio, a 3D studio, classrooms, a two-story event space and more.
