S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is a communications school at Syracuse University. It was named for newspaper publisher Samuel I. Newhouse, who donated $15 million to the university for a journalism school. Designed by I.M. Pei, the school was dedicated on August 6, 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. A second building, called Newhouse II, was built in 1974 and dedicated by CBS Television founder William S. Paley. Ground was broken for a third building on November 12, 2005. That building is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2007 and will be dedicated by Supreme Court Justice John Roberts
Considered the most prestigious school of communications; the Newhouse School is best known for its broadcast journalism, newspaper, and public relations programs. The school also has programs in media studies, television/radio/film, advertising, print journalism, photography, fashion communication, new media, and media management. Graduates of Newhouse have gone on to positions with ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, The New York Times, Reuters and The Associated Press, among others.
