Jewish Journalism
Degree To Be Offered
A unique program will begin
in Baltimore this September, of-
fering a two-year training
course toward a double Masters
degree in Jewish Studies and
Professional Writing.
The newly created Baltimore
Center for Jewish Journalism
will train men and women for
editorial careers in the field of
Jewish newspapers and maga-
zines.
The Center is being formed by
the Baltimore Hebrew College,
Towson State University and
the Baltimore Jewish Times, sis-
ter paper of The Jewish News.
Under the program, students
will earn the Master of Arts de-
gree in Jewish Studies from the
Baltimore Hebrew College and
the Master of Science degree in
Professional Writing from Tow-
son State University. In addi-
tion, the students . will under-
take a one-year internship at
the Baltimore Jewish Times and
a one-year internship at the
B'nai B'rith International
Jewish Monthly in Washington.
"The American Jewish com-
munity has become increasingly
sophisticated," noted Dr. Robert
0. Freedman, dean of the Peggy
Meyerhoff Pearlstone School of
Graduate Studies of the Balti-
more Hebrew College, "and we
feel there is a need for an
equally sophisticated Jewish
press." He explained that as
part of the program, students
will follow a curriculum at the
Hebrew College which em-
,
phasizes contemporary Jewish
life, ranging from course offer-
ings in Mideast politics to the
sociology of the American
Jewish community. Students
will take 10 three-credit courses
over a two-year period to earn a
Master of Arts degree in Jewish
Studies.
At Towson State University,
students will take courses in
news and feature writing,
rhetoric and style, editing,
production layout and design,
the social responsibility of the
writer and journal management.
Thirty-six credits will be re-
quired for a Master of Science
degree in Professional Writing.
Charles Buerger, publisher of
the Baltimore Jewish Times and
the Detroit Jewish News, will
serve as chairman of the board
overseeing the curriculum of the
program. He said he was proud
"to help develop a center to
train journalists for the Jewish
press" and was confident that
graduates of the center will be
instrumental in improving the
quality of Jewish journalism in
this country.
Applications for the fall
semester are being accepted
until mid-May. For further in-
formation about the center,
please contact Dr. Robert 0.
