Northeastern University School of Journalism

[4] Boston native George A. Speers, a Yankee Quill Award recipient and Northeastern alumnus who previously worked in the university's press office, was appointed the first chairman of the newly formed journalism department in 1965.

[9] Nicholas Daniloff, a Harvard-educated former Moscow bureau chief for U.S. News & World Report, was chosen to serve as director of the school from 1992 to 1999.

A former editor at the Los Angeles Times, he was praised for helping the school embrace reporting in the digital age and guiding its integration into the newly created College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD) at Northeastern.

[11][12][13] In recent years, the school has added courses and programs in coding, information visualization, videography, database management and game design.

He previously worked at Bloomberg News, The Wall Street Journal, where he spent time as China bureau chief, and The Boston Globe, earning two Pulitzer Prizes during his career.

[25][26] It includes two daily newspapers, The Boston Globe and Boston Herald plus The Christian Science Monitor; multiple local television news stations, as well as two public television stations GBH and GBH 44 that produce the Frontline and American Experience national documentary series; New England Cable News, which is a 24-hour cable news network; two public radio stations WBUR and GBH that produce national programs; Boston Magazine; and the sports website Barstool Sports.

[27] The journalism school is located near the center of Northeastern's Boston campus just off Huntington Avenue in Lake Hall, constructed around 1911.

Originally, the drug company built six "turn-of-the-century industrial architecture" buildings as part of its corporate offices, and manufacturing and research facilities designed by the Boston firm of Gay and Proctor, and later modified by Wheelwright, Haven & Hoyt.

The Scope is a student-run digital magazine that prides itself on telling stories in the Greater Boston area that other news media overlook.

[35] Through Northeastern's Dialogue of Civilizations summer program, students can choose to travel abroad with a university faculty member for about 30 days to learn about a specific topic or course subject.
