The Columbia Journalism School is pleased to announce its Sulzberger Executive Leadership Program.

The Sulzberger Executive Leadership Program begins with a two-week intensive at Columbia Journalism School. Fellows then return to their organizations to immediately implement what they learned and are supported through a weekly virtual cohort meeting and one-on-one coaching. The program culminates back at Columbia for a final week-long intensive, including final project presentations.
