NBC News has teamed with the New York Film Academy to promote a digital journalism and broadcasting program. Students will shoot, write and edit short and longer-form stories, as well as maintain a video blog. Beyond promotion, NBC provides some of the speakers as well, and the network gets a cut of the $35,366/student tuition. I love that NBC is getting proactive on the education side of the personnel pipeline, yet some criticize that the program’s promotion infers that students will end up getting hired at NBC.
