Students participate in both on-campus and off-campus news internships every semester. Faculty mentors follow the interns' progress, meeting regularly to help students develop both craft and workplace savvy. Among the organizations where Stony Brook student journalists have interned in the past year are the Southampton Press, Newsday, The Daily News, News12 and Glamour magazine.
A message from the Dean
The media world is in the midst of a revolution. Digital technology is disseminating a flood of information - and disinformation - every day. Never before has there been a greater need for independent-minded, thoughtful and well-trained journalism graduates. The new Stony Brook University School of Journalism is uniquely positioned to fill that need because it was created to prepare you for a dynamic and evolving multimedia future.At Stony Brook, you will be trained for careers in broadcast journalism, newspaper and magazine journalism, and online journalism. You will study with outstanding faculty that includes Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award winners.
Stony Brook's proximity to New York City, the media capital of the world, means that you will have the opportunity to study and intern both on Long Island and Manhattan. You will work in the "newsroom of the future" outfitted with cutting-edge digital technology.
The emphasis will be on fundamentals and innovation. Every student will graduate with a passion for the public interest and the courage to do the right thing in the face of unprecedented media competition.
The enduring reason for choosing a journalism career is the same now as it was when I made my decision 40 years ago to study journalism. Journalists can still change the world!
--Dean Howard Schneider
