Journalism Creators Program Open House - Spring 2023
Come chat with us! We're getting ready for the Spring 2023 cohort of the fully online Entrepreneurial Journalism Creators Program at Newmark J-School.
Join program director Jeremy Caplan in this Q&A session to hear from alums of the EJCP, ask questions about the program and talk about what it means to work independently as a journalist.
ABOUT THE ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNALISM CREATORS PROGRAM
The EJCP is a virtual 100-day program for creators from all around the world who want to build independent niche journalism projects. Join the program to develop your idea for a newsletter, podcast or niche site. We'll help you strengthen your skills, knowledge and network as you explore creative approaches for generating revenue.
The short application will be open throughout January. The 100-day program will run from late March through late June.
