The Columbia Publishing Course at the university’s School of Journalism has come a long way since it began at Radcliffe many years ago. Billed as “the shortest graduate school in the country,” the program now focuses on the digital future of book and magazine publishing.
The New York Times has more: “Students were schooled in “Reinventing the Reading Experience: From Print to Digital” by Nicholas Callaway, the chairman of a company that produces book apps for children. Managers from Penguin Group USA explained how to master ‘e-marketing,’ and a panel of digital experts talked about short-form electronic publishing — not quite a magazine article, not quite a book — which is so new, the genre doesn’t really have a name.”
The school’s summer session is underway with this new approach. Follow the course at this Twitter account. What do you think of this new curriculum?
