About the Role

The Company is seeking a visionary and community-oriented leader to serve as the Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape the future of journalism and journalism education, with a focus on empowering the next generation of journalists to lead with integrity and creativity. This role involves setting a strategic vision for the school, particularly in the context of a rapidly changing media landscape, and fostering a more inclusive community of faculty, staff, and students. The Dean will also be responsible for managing resources, increasing philanthropic support, and engaging with diverse constituent groups to build support for the future of journalism education. Applicants for the Dean position at the Graduate School of Journalism should have a sophisticated understanding of journalism, a national or international reputation in the field, and a commitment to the values and civic purpose of journalism. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in leadership, a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the ability to lead an effective fundraising effort. Professional qualifications include an advanced degree or a minimum of 10 years' professional journalism experience, with a preference for those who can merit a tenured appointment as a full professor. The role requires a leader who is adept at fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and shared governance, and who can effectively engage with the academic and professional communities to advance the mission of the school.
