New York, NY, October 8, 2026 — The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York (CUNY) is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Alongside this milestone, the institution has announced a significant new initiative to provide free tuition to all its students.
Founded two decades ago, the school’s original mission was to cultivate a more representative journalism workforce and offer accessible graduate education. The introduction of free tuition aims to further these founding principles by eliminating financial barriers for aspiring journalists and attracting a broader range of diverse talent to the field.
The new initiative seeks to ensure that financial considerations do not prevent students from pursuing advanced journalism studies. This move is expected to enhance opportunities for individuals from various backgrounds to enter and contribute to the profession.
