S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is a communications school at Syracuse University. It was named for newspaper publisher Samuel Irving Newhouse, Sr., who donated $15 million to the university for a journalism school. Designed by I.M. Pei, the school was dedicated on August 6, 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. A second building, called Newhouse II, was built in 1974 and dedicated by CBS Television founder William S. Paley. A third building, Newhouse III, was dedicated on September 19, 2007 by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. The $31.6 million 74,000 square foot modern structure features six-foot high letters from the First Amendment etched on its curving glass windows. The three buildings are known as the Newhouse Trilogy.

The Newhouse School is considered one of the most prestigious schools of communications. It is best known for its broadcast journalism, television, newspaper, and public relations programs. The school also features programs in media studies, television/radio/film, advertising, magazine journalism, photography, arts journalism, new media, media management, and public diplomacy. Graduates of Newhouse have gone on to positions with ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, The New York Times, Reuters and The Associated Press, among others.
