Literary Reportage at NYU

The forthcoming Literary Reportage track at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute brings together traditional journalism's emphasis on rigorous reporting and research with the emphasis of the MFA writing workshop model on close professional faculty mentorship. To this we add the methods NYU Journalism has developed in its Portfolio honors track, in which students learn how to build a coherent body of work. The aim is to publish in professional venues during the course of study and, of course, beyond.

Literary Reportage students take the basic sequence of Writing, Research and Reporting I and II, and the two-course Portfolio Workshop sequence from the Specialized Reporting group of courses. In addition, they take courses designed to deepen their reporting and research skills as well as their understanding of literary technique.
