Modern Journalism
Rolling Stone has once again teamed up with New York University and online education platform, Yellowbrick, to launch a new online certificate course, Modern Journalism. This course covers the cultural politics of news media, the social role of the journalist, the importance of craft, and the art of storytelling. Featuring award-winning contributors such as Adam Penenberg and Tim Chan and Pulitzer Prize winner, Eliza Griswold, Modern Journalism provides a practical take on the institution of journalism and how it is practiced by working journalists — in a world that increasingly needs them.

It’s not easy to get to a classroom and study filmmaking these days — but that doesn’t mean that you can’t learn about the craft straight from pros in the entertainment industry. That’s one of the reasons why Rolling Stone joined forces with IndieWire, New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and the online-education platform Yellowbrick to launch “Film and TV Industry Essentials.”
