Wherever news was breaking, we were there. From world wars to historic elections, from civil rights movements to scientific milestones, Columbia journalists have shaped the first draft of history — and continue to do so today. Explore more than 100 landmark stories reported, investigated, produced, filmed, photographed and shared by the Columbia Journalism School community.
For more than a century, Columbia Journalism School has stood for excellence, integrity and the essential role of journalism in a free society. Our alumni have reported from battlefields and courtrooms, city halls and rural towns, telling stories that hold power to account and give voice to communities worldwide. And each represents not just a moment in time, but a commitment to truth, ethics and the public good — values that define our past and our future.
In an era when journalism faces new challenges, our mission is more urgent than ever. We continue to teach, practice and champion reporting that is rigorous, ethical and vital to democracy.
