CUNY gets money, starts incubating
Jun 25th, 2008 by Tracy Van Slyke
Jeff Jarvis announced that City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism, received a $3 million matching grant from the Tow Foundation to create a Center for Journalistic Innovation
Our idea is to start an incubator to help support new products, businesses, platforms, technologies, and standards from new companies — some that will be started by students out of my entrepreneurial journalism class — and big media as well. We will create a New Business Models for News initiative to gather and share best practices in the industry. Another intitiative will do the same with editorial innovation. We will establish a chair in journailstic innovation and scholarships for entrepreneurial students.
First of all, how much fun does this sound? Can’t wait to see what they do. Once they’ve gotten off the ground, media organizations should look to see how to partner with them.
