“We’re complementing the traditional journalism schools by doing something they’re not,” Mr. Steiner [head of the program, Robert Steiner, a former Globe and Mail and Wall Street Journal journalist] says, “Rather than channelling folks into staff jobs that may or may not exist, we are preparing people to do rigorous journalism autonomously. And rather than starting people off as generalists in a local market, we’re tapping into them as highly knowledgeable reporters for a global market. It’s our part of the broader experiment that is journalism today.” (Quoted from article)
