The Reed College of Media and College of Creative Arts will merge to form the new WVU College of Creative Arts and Media as of July 1, 2024. Get details.
NewStart, a local news ownership initiative that aims to recruit, train and
support the next generation of community newspaper owners and publishers across
the country, is accepting applications for the fellowship program.
The year-long
fellowship is for anyone with a bachelor’s degree who is interested in owning a
local newspaper. Fellows will receive training in both journalism and business
practices with an emphasis on digital transition and new funding models for
media. They will also be placed in apprenticeships at West Virginia newspapers,
where they will learn firsthand the day-to-day challenges of running a
small-market newspaper in a local community.
