Campus
The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism is located in Midtown Manhattan, near Times Square. It is housed in the former headquarters of The New York Herald Tribune, which CUNY purchased in August 2004 for $60 million. Renovation of the building cost $10.7 million and took place at the same time that The New York Times was building a new, 52-story office tower to house its headquarters next door.
The campus houses a newsroom with seats for 80, a broadcast studio, several multimedia editing suites, a library and research center with 1,500 books on journalism, as well as numerous classrooms.
In 2006, the school hosted a reunion of about 100 former New York Herald Tribune journalists gathered to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the paper's closing. The school has also provided a space for several professional conferences for journalists, including the Networked Journalism Summit in October 2007, and an October 2008 conference on new business models for news organizations.
