1-Year Broadcast Journalism Program

The New York Film Academy is training the next generation of journalists to be prepared to navigate the evolving landscape of journalism in the 21st Century. Working with top broadcast and investigative journalists, NYFA created an intensive hands-on curriculum to address the pressing demand for multi-skilled, independent journalists on broadcast television, cable, and the internet.

Students are introduced to cutting-edge digital technology and methods now 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 sector of the industry. Our journalism programs will challenge students to practice and develop these skills in preparation to enter this exciting and competitive field.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Through study and hands-on practice, NYFA students are trained in the fundamental principles, techniques, and craft of contemporary journalism through a combination of lecture, demonstration, in-class hands-on production, and project-based work. Each student produces a series of prerecorded news projects, shot both single and multi-camera and edited on Avid Media Composer.

Students who successfully complete this program will have learned to research, produce, shoot, write, report, narrate, and edit news projects suitable for broadcast and the internet. The first semester provides a foundation in journalistic skills in this digital age that students apply to more advanced work in the second semester, where the focus is on NYFA News, our own biweekly news magazine. Students learn the process of show production as they rotate positions that include anchor, reporter, writer, producer and director.
