The New School Free Press is a class devoted to producing news and information about The New School on multiple platforms: through a website, on social media and in print. The course gives students the chance to dig deep into issues that affect The New School community and its administration, as well as general issues relevant to faculty, staff and student experiences. The class is highly collaborative and only for serious, dedicated students. This semester, faculty will lead the class in an onboarding and level-setting process for the first few weeks of the term. Then, students will take on the roles of reporter, editor, designer, producer etc., so that by the end of the term, the news outlet is largely student-run. Students must have completed News, Narrative, & Design I or have the permission of the instructor.
