Some journalists thriving

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Yesterday I spent part of the day in New York City meeting with six students who are now interning or working at Bloomberg.

These wonderfully bright students are making a significant contribution to the future of journalism, and they represent the training they get in the school’s business journalism program. In fact, during the last three years Bloomberg has hired nine of our students.

Bloomberg is one of their dream assignments. After all, they get to live in New York City! But what’s remarkable about Bloomberg is that the company believes in training. These students are mentored by experienced reporters and editors like Galen Meyer. He’s proud of their work and they feel great because they continue to grow and learn while on the job.

These journalists are thriving.
