This is What It’s Like to Launch a Journalism School from Scratch

If you had the chance to launch your own journalism school, how would you do it? If your mind starts to run wild, tack on some limitations: Yes, you have the power to decide what the school is going to look like and focus on, but you have nowhere near unlimited funding. In fact, you’ll be operating on a shoestring and will face constant fundraising challenges — you’ll need to be very creative about finding opportunities for your students to learn. This might be a dream assignment, but it’s one that will bring you down to earth very quickly.
