Following through: helping CUNY journalism graduate school go tuition-free

Jan 25, 2024 | linkedin.com | Craig Newmark

Okay, my deal is that I'm contributing another $10 million so that the CUNY journalism grad school can go tuition-free for half the student body next year. The J-school’s goal is to go entirely tuition-free by 2026. Tuition-free means more seriously good journalism education for students from all income backgrounds.

I'm committed to customer service and have spent 40 years of my career working on it, committed only as long as I live. (Not so fast, says CraigGPT.)Anyway, customer service is really hard.

Blue Star Families really does a great job supporting military families with real life needs. That's not only fair, helping people who defend the country, it's also a national security thing.
