Yale Journalism Initiative
The Yale Journalism Initiative brings a distinguished writer to campus each term to teach an advanced journalism seminar, ENGL 467a or b. Students who complete the seminar may apply to become Yale Journalism Scholars, a distinction that provides access to summer support for internships, career counseling with a journalism specialist in the Writing Center, and invitations to meet professional journalists at events both on and off campus. The visiting journalists for 2009–2010 are Steven Brill (fall 2009) and Jill Abramson (spring 2010). For more information on the initiative or on becoming a Journalism Scholar, see the Journalism Initiative Web site.
