Redefining Journalism with a Hybrid Computer Engineering Degree

Interested in the future of journalism? You can help shape it. That’s the idea behind a new graduate program beginning in the Fall of 2011 at Columbia University that includes semesters in both the Columbia School of Journalism and in Columbia’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. Will this create programmers who can think like journalists, journalists who can code, or something entirely different? Bill Grueskin, the Academic Dean of the School of Journalism, joins Mario to discuss the program’s goals.
