Columbia News Tonight

Each Thursday morning, 25 intrepid young reporters and producers from the Columbia School of Journalism get together to ask a simple question: What are New Yorkers talking about this week? Over the next 36 hours, a 30-minute newscast is researched, reported, edited and, produced, before it is broadcast Friday evening. The result is Columbia News Tonight.

We aim to bring you a kaleidoscope of local, national and international news and features. How much is my Metro fare going to increase? Is the local playground safe for my kids? What’s the latest on national politics? What’s happening in the Middle East?

In addition to the news of the day, Columbia News Tonight week features four weekly segments that take a closer look at personalities and issues in New York City.
