Friday Chronicles - Fifteenth Edition

As a Columbia master's degree student, you will be treated from day one as a professional working journalist.  Our faculty will train you in less than a year how to report at the level of the best journalists in the world and how to produce publishable stories. For example, two current students in the M.S. in Data Journalism program, Meghnad Bose ('24 M.S. Data) and Matthew Danbury ('24 M.S. Data), worked with their professor Dhrumil Mehta in the Investigative Data Reporting class on a data-driven story about the media attention on former U.S. President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump. Using closed-captioning data from the Internet Archive’s TV News Archive, they showed that Trump has been mentioned in far more clips on the big three national cable news networks than President Joe Biden has this year so far. Based on the strength of their reporting, Columbia Journalism Review published the story this week. Read it by clicking below:
