Hearst New Media Programs

The William Randolph Hearst Foundation has generously underwritten two major new media initiatives at the Journalism School. They bring working professionals to the school multiple times a year in various settings to interact with our students.

Columbia Journalism Dialogues

The Journalism School examines the changing media industry, with an emphasis on new media and online journalism. This is meant to be a different kind of panel, with a real conversation among the participants and no Powerpoint in sight. This annual program will invite new speakers each year to assess - and track - the changes taking place all around us.

Hearst New Media Professional-in-Residence

The Hearst New Media Professional-in-Residence is appointed each calendar year to participate in the educational activities of the school. The Hearst Professional is typically a senior journalist who works at the highest levels of the industry. He or she participates in classes and programs, critiques student work, and delivers an annual lecture to the school and the New York new media community in April. The appointment has been made possible by a generous gift from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. Columbia welcomes nominations for this position. Please contact Prof. Sreenath Sreenivasan.

Dan Okrent - The Death of Print
December 14, 1999
The Death of Print is going to happen, sooner than you may think. The word "Internet" was all but unknown in the U.S. six years ago, and Time Inc., which had not yet even imagined its potential impact, had no one working in the Internet arena. Today, the Internet is inescapable; through the advent of Email, it is ubiquitous. In the financial markets, it as essential as dollars. Throughout Time Warner, more than 1,000 people are developing copyrighted internet product, or marketing it to consumers. Someday, we may even make money at it.
