Broadcast Journalism School at the New York Film Academy

Broadcast Journalism Program is offered at our New York Campus only

Broadcast Journalism School

The New York Film Academy’s broadcast journalism school is training the next generation of journalists to navigate the evolving landscape of the field in the 21st Century. Having first been approached by NBC News several years ago to start an education program for aspiring broadcast journalists, the New York Film Academy created an intensive hands-on curriculum in broadcast journalism to address the pressing demand for multi-skilled, independent reporters on broadcast television, cable, and the Internet.

New York Film Academy students will be challenged to be resourceful digital reporters who can handle every aspect of covering a story. In addition, the broadcast journalism school is located at the Academy’s New York City campus, allowing students countless opportunities to film throughout the city, while also giving them access to the many news organizations based in NYC. For students looking to transition into an internship following their time at the Academy’s school of broadcast journalism, New York City provides countless opportunities for self-motivated students to follow their professional dreams.

Students are introduced to cutting-edge digital technology and methods that are now being used professionally in the field. Today’s journalists are expected to research, write, shoot, produce, edit, and even appear on camera in their own field reports and investigative segments. In small crews or even solo, these intrepid reporters are the fastest growing part of the journalism profession. As one of the best broadcast journalism schools, we will challenge students to practice and develop these skills in preparation to enter this exciting and competitive field.

Equipment and Facilities

Students work with digital HDTV cameras that afford them the opportunity to shoot in a variety of formats and style. They come to understand the complexities of modern video cameras, which can dramatically enhance their storytelling abilities.

In editing their projects, nonlinear digital editing software gives students a level of content and creative control unheard of until recently. It allows them to create news stories that combine a sophisticated, contemporary look with dynamic, engaging content.

Working in studio space specifically designed for the Broadcast Journalism School, students anchor news programs from a "virtual" set similar to that used by broadcasters worldwide. They take turns handling key assignments, and "shadow" industry professionals who explain the intricacies of deadline-driven production.
