    CPCJ Student Handbook

  • Admission Links

  • Students in the Creative Publishing and Critical Journalism (CPCJ) program broaden understanding of traditional journalism through their research on design, digital publishing, alternative media, and more. Their research is done in collaboration with leading scholars, intellectuals, and other graduate programs and centers at The New School, combining theoretical foundations with broad critical analysis.

    Back Matter Magazine

    Back Matter is a student-run print and digital magazine that examines New York City's publishing industry. It is produced by CPCJ and other New School students in the recurring spring class Design and the Future of Publishing.

    Read the 2023 edition and a reflection on the 2023 production process. Also, learn more about the changes required to publish a magazine during a pandemic and how students adapted.

    Public Seminar

    Public Seminar is dedicated to informing debate about the pressing issues of our times and creating a global intellectual commons. An independent project of The New School Publishing Initiative, Public Seminar is produced by New School faculty, students, and staff and supported by colleagues and collaborators around the globe. 

    Every semester, Public Seminar awards credit-bearing internships to three students with a demonstrated interest or experience in publishing and journalism. All interns are awarded a scholarship for the course to cover the cost of the three credits. Many CPCJ students either work as Public Seminar interns or submit articles, interviews, and criticism for publication on the site.
