Scripps School of Journalism’s international journalism initiatives, as well as to establish a brand name and identity that could facilitate fund raising on behalf of the school’s global initiatives in the following areas:

  • Preparation of students to work as international journalists.
  • Support for research on international journalism.
  • Enhance communication among journalists, students and media scholars.
  • Cooperation with global partners in journalism education.
