history
In 1892, Joseph Pulitzer , then editor of New York World , offered Columbia University financial support to found the world's first "School of Journalism". The university initially rejected this offer. In 1902 Pulitzer wrote: “ My idea is that journalism will be recognized as a great intellectual profession, that journalists will be promoted and, most importantly, future members of the profession will be trained in a practical way. “To ensure the continuation of the college, Pulitzer left Columbia University with US $ 2 million. On September 30, 1912, about a year after his death, the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism began teaching. In the first semester, 78 students from 21 countries enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses.
Since 1935, the curriculum no longer provides for a bachelor's degree . Today the university offers three academic degrees . The Master of Science in Journalism , the Doctor of Philosophy in Communications and, since 2005, the Master of Arts in Journalism .
During the Cultural Revolution in China, the college was accused of participating in the US government's program to educate the Kuomintang . The former Vice President of the United States, Al Gore, was an honorary visiting professor at the university for one semester from February 2001 .
In 1984, George T. Delacorte, who graduated from Columbia College in 1913, founded the George T. Delacorte Center for Magazine Journalism. The institute covers all areas of magazine production and the distribution of glossy publications and offers, among other things, scholarships .
In 2006 a center for investigative journalism , the Toni Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism, was opened. It was financed by a donation from the American journalist Toni Stabile.
Since 2010 the “Tow Center for Digital Journalism” has offered students at the journalism university the opportunity to complete a double degree in journalism and computer science .
building
Joseph Pulitzer helped design the “Journalism Building” and accompanied the construction with his ideas. The building is on the southeast corner (" West 116 and Broadway ") at the main entrance to the university. At the entrance is a bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson , created in 1914 by William Ordway Partridge . In addition to the lecture rooms, there is a large auditorium , computer rooms, a library as well as television and radio studios. The Pulitzer Prize winners are announced each year in the “World Room”, which is used for ceremonial events. Many historically valuable furnishings from the "New York World", such as furniture and works of art, have found their place in the faculty building. For the bronze bust in the foyer, Joseph Pulitzer, seriously ill and blind, sat as a model for Auguste Rodin in France in 1907. A large stained glass window in the building originally came from the newspaper's editorial offices; it shows the Statue of Liberty standing above the earth.
