Save the date: Boost the ’Cuse is Oct. 1

Each year, Boost the ’Cuse —Syracuse University’s Day of Giving—offers special giving opportunities that have an immediate and positive impact on our students. Thanks to the participation of our alumni, employees, parents and friends, the Newhouse School has been a leader in this effort. We have put these gifts to work providing critical classroom resources, necessary scholarship support, travel assistance and access to career-boosting networking opportunities in the communications industry for our students. Thank you if you have been part of these past efforts!

Join us this year by supporting one of our school funds with a gift of any amount. If we reach our goal of 500 donors, we will “unlock” more than $84,000 from generous alumni donors and Newhouse Advisory Board members. Every gift matters!

This year, in particular, is a critical time for us to work together to preserve the highly touted Newhouse experience and make it accessible to our students.

For more information and/or to make your pledge before Oct. 1, visit Boost the ’Cuse.

Beth Egan named co-director of Newhouse’s W2O Center for Social Commerce

Beth Egan

Beth Egan, associate professor of advertising at the Newhouse School, has been named co-director of the W2O Center for Social Commerce, Newhouse dean Mark J. Lodato announced today. A 25-year veteran of the media industry, Egan joined the Newhouse School in 2013.

“Beth’s passion for our students, combined with her industry experience, make her a great match for the innovative work of the W2O Center for Social Commerce,” Lodato says. “She understands the value of students from different departments working together, and will be able to build upon Professor Maria Russell’s legacy.”

The W2O Center for Social Commerce was established in 2012 as a partnership between the Newhouse School and integrated communications firm W2O Group. Supported by gifts from alumnus Jim Weiss ‘87, W2O Group founder and CEO, and his wife Audra Weiss ’89, the center aims to provide students with skills in social commerce, social media, technology and analytics. Since its founding, the center has hosted communications leaders from major U.S. corporations to share their insights with students; sponsored W2O Group staff experts for classroom presentations; trained students and faculty in hands-on analytics workshops; and offered paid summer internships in New York City. The center also supports the Student Ambassadors program

Maria Russell, professor emerita of public relations, served as the center’s first co-director with Gary Grates G’99, principal at W2O Group. Grates will continue as co-director with Egan.  

“The W2O Center for Social Commerce has been a place of education and innovation in the social space since its inception,” Egan says. “Maria Russell and Gary Grates spearheaded the generous commitment from Jim and Audra Weiss to help Newhouse students grow and learn in real time through the evolution of social media. As the only medium that truly plays in the paid, owned, shared and earned space, social media is relevant across all disciplines at the school.”

W2O Group also supports the W2O Emerging Insights Lab (EIL), established at the Newhouse School last year. The state-of-the-art social media command center serves as a central hub for the interfacing of digital media monitored and studied by students throughout the Newhouse School.

“This moment is a great opportunity to continue to educate our students, our faculty and the communities we serve. With the opening of the Emerging Insights Lab, we have a space for hands-on learning and opportunities for world-class research in the social space,” Egan says.

“As marketing and advertising have become more data-driven, combined with the democratization of knowledge and connectivity, Beth Egan is the ideal person to take the co-director reins to expand the reach and relevance of the center as we prepare for the next phase of growth and success,” Weiss says. “After a decade under Maria Russell, when the center reached thousands of students, won awards and set the standard for academic-industry partnership, our partnership with Newhouse promises to lead the way in innovation and inventiveness in a digital-first world.”

Adobe Creative Cloud offered to Newhouse students for 2020-21 academic year

Whether working on campus or off, Newhouse School students will have access to Adobe Creative Cloud during the 2020-21 academic year.

The set of applications and services includes software used for graphic design, video editing, web development and photography, among other disciplines. At Newhouse, Adobe Creative Cloud will be integrated across academic departments and programs as a tool for enhancing students’ digital literacy.  Funded through program fees, access will be given to any student enrolled in a Newhouse course.

“Providing students with the Adobe Creative Cloud assures that Newhouse School students will have access to the state-of-the-art software needed to succeed in communications today,” says Dean Mark J. Lodato. “In an academic year that demands ultimate flexibility, this partnership gives our students all of the tools necessary to succeed, regardless of where or how they’re engaging in class.”

Adobe Creative Cloud is useful in nearly all of the school’s programs.

Lodato says credit for this latest collaboration goes to Brian Tibbens, Newhouse’s director of technology, who negotiated the agreement.

The Newhouse School, the nation’s leading communications school, and Adobe, a world leader in creative software, have partnered for many years. The company has co-sponsored workshops and educational initiatives like the Empire State School Press Association conference, the visual communication department’s annual Fall Workshop and the Pixels vs. Print design workshop.

The Newhouse School is an Adobe certified testing center, allowing students to earn certification in Adobe technologies. The school is also a participant in Adobe Creative Campus, which recognizes the value of teaching digital literacy skills in higher education.

Newhouse School welcomes five new faculty members

Five communications professionals will join the Newhouse School this fall, further enhancing the school’s already-robust faculty of more than 120 teachers, scholars and practitioners.

“These five outstanding communicators have excelled at the highest levels in their respected fields,” says Newhouse Dean Mark J. Lodato. “I’m grateful to the members of our search committees, who found these next generation educators who bring with them a commitment to students, diversity and the collaborative, global approach to communication that we need in this challenging time.”

Newhouse School announces winners in 2020 Toner Prize competition

Winners in the 2020 Toner Prize competition were announced today by the Newhouse School.

This is the 10th year for the Toner Prize, which honors excellence in political reporting. In recognition of that milestone, the competition now includes two prizes: one for national political reporting and one for local political reporting. Each carries a $5,000 honorarium.

Toner Prize for Excellence in National Political Reporting

An eight-member team of journalists from The Boston Globe is the winner of the Toner Prize for Excellence in National Political Reporting for the series “Back to the Battleground.” The series placed reporters in four pivotal states that helped decide the 2016 presidential election—Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin—to tell the stories of those states through the lives of average citizens. The Globe sought to document how the lives of voters had changed—or not changed—during the Trump presidency, and whether or not they were inclined to vote for him again as a result.

Judges praised the coverage as “sharp, richly-detailed reporting”  and  added “telling human stories like this is the exact right way into political coverage.”

Members of the winning team are Jess Bidgood, national political reporter; Erin Clark, staff photographer; Liz Goodwin, deputy bureau chief in Washington, D.C.; Laura Krantz, national political reporter; Shelby Lum, video producer; Jessica Rinaldi, staff photographer; Jazmine Ulloa, reporter; and Craig F. Walker, staff photographer.

Honorable Mention for National Political Reporting

Michael Kruse, senior staff writer for Politico and Politico Magazine, earned an honorable mention for his profiles of candidates in the 2020 presidential campaign.

Judges said, “Kruse takes a deeply human, personal look at the candidates… His writing is fluid and fresh.  I look forward to a sequel.”

National Political Reporting Finalists

Other finalists for the Toner Prize for Excellence in National Political Reporting were Mark Leibovich of The New York Times Magazine for “The Things They’re Willing to Go Through: Strange Days in Washington and Iowa”; Robert Samuels of The Washington Post for profiles of the Democratic presidential candidates; Alex Thompson of Politico for “Covering Elizabeth Warren”; and the staffs of The Arizona Republic/USA Today/Center for Public Integrity for “Copy. Paste. Legislate.”

Toner Prize for Excellence in Local Political Reporting

A five-member team from WBEZ Public Media in Chicago won the first Toner Prize for Excellence in Local Political Reporting for their coverage of the 2019 Chicago Municipal Elections. In an election involving 14 mayoral candidates and dozens of people running for City Council seats, WBEZ’s coverage sought to help voters understand the people and issues at stake.

Judges called the coverage “a real public service… Informative, clever approach to cover a local election of huge importance to the city, but overwhelming for voters to engage with… They personalized information for any voter…. It should be a model.”

Members of the winning team are Alex Keefe, senior editor of government and politics; Cate Cahan, projects and investigations editor; Paula Friedrich, interactive producer; Claudia Morell, political reporter; and Becky Vevea, political reporter.

Local Political Reporting Finalists

Other finalists for the Toner Prize for Excellence in Local Political Reporting were Lauren Chooljian, Jack Rodolico and the staff of New Hampshire Public Radio for “Stranglehold: A Podcast About the People, Power and Influence of the New Hampshire Primary”; the staffs of Spotlight PA & The Caucus for “Big Spending, Little Accountability”; political beat reporters of The Baltimore Sun for “Healthy Holly”; Rob Davis, Beth Nakamura, Teresa Mahoney and Steve Suo of The Oregonian/OregonLive for “Polluted by Money”; and Kim Norvell, Shelby Fleig, Robin Opsahl, Brianne Pfannenstiel, Kelsey Kremer and Tim Webber of The Des Moines Register for “3 Counties: Iowa Campaign Coverage.”

Judges were Christina Bellantoni, professor at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and a former political reporter and editor at the Los Angeles Times; Ann Compton, retired White House correspondent for ABC News; Maralee Schwartz, retired political editor of The Washington Post; Joseph B. Treaster, professor at the University of Miami’s School of Communication and a former New York Times correspondent; and Cynthia Tucker, journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama and a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The Toner Prize is named in honor of late alumna Robin Toner ’76, who was the first woman to serve as national political correspondent for The New York Times. This year’s competition drew nearly 140 entries from across the country and from across media platforms.

Message to Newhouse students from Interim Dean Amy Falker

Dear Newhouse Students,
I understand and appreciate that the events of the past week have been unsettling to many on our campus, online students, and parents and alumni off campus. It’s important we stand together behind our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and in support of all our students.

Campus activism can be a transformative learning experience for a campus and its community. I’m sure many of your Newhouse classes have been discussing the events of the day in the context of what you are studying. 

I believe we should engage and try to better understand student concerns and their underlying issues, and do so in the spirit of finding a common path forward to building a better Newhouse and University community.

New York Times editor Joanna Nikas to teach for Newhouse NYC program

Joanna Nikas
Joanna Nikas

Growing up in Athens, Greece, Joanna Nikas was enthralled by Greek mythology. But it wasn’t just the stories—the visuals engaged her just as much as the characters did.

“I knew I always wanted to be a storyteller,” Nikas says. Today, she’s a staff editor at The New York Times, currently conceptualizing articles and assigning writers on self-care. Last year she was the editor of Surfacing, a visual-first storytelling initiative that covered communities. Her love for visuals also found a home on social media: Nikas runs The New York Times Fashion Instagram account, @nytimesfashion, with 2.7 million followers.

She’s adding to her list of responsibilities this fall: Nikas will teach a social media class (Social Platforms, Processes and Perspectives) for Newhouse NYC starting this month.

“I’m thrilled to have Joanna join the Newhouse NYC faculty,” says Cheryl Brody Franklin, director of Newhouse NYC. “She’s been extremely generous over the last two years to host students at The New York Times, and I’m excited they’ll get to meet with her weekly now.”

Nikas also taught lectures for a class this summer at The New York Times Journalism Institute, where she focused on fashion.

“I found that I learned just as much from the students—well, I learned a lot from the students, hopefully they learned a lot from me as well,” she says.

Starting Out: Journalism 101

Joanna Nikas giving Newhouse NYC students a tour of Pulitzer Hall at The New York Times office in 2018.

Covering visuals, fashion and self-care comes after a journey of filming, producing and a lot of what Nikas calls “Journalism 101.” As an undergraduate at New York University, she learned the nitty-gritty of reporting: shaping stories, writing nut graphs and digging for ideas. For a class at NYU, she covered the Lower East Side, finding stories in part by going to community board meetings. 

Once she graduated, Nikas discovered that she wanted to learn the art of visual and digital journalism, which led her to a digital media master’s degree at Columbia University.

It was while Nikas was at Columbia that she found the story that would eventually be partially aired on public television—a documentary about an all-girls robotics team at the Bronx High School of Science, one of the only schools at the time to have both all-girls and all-boys teams.

“That experience was so amazing to me because I loved being able to tell stories through video and spending time with these young women who are incredibly smart,” she says.

Nikas and her peer, Yolanne Almanzar, filmed, edited and transcribed the documentary over months that saw several late nights on campus.

“Although I was very sleep-deprived, I had this body of work that I was really proud of,” she says. “I was able to tell their story.”

Finding a Mentor

Nikas interned with The New York Times while she was at Columbia, reporting and collecting data on education. Her editor caught her looking at fashion shows and suggested she meet with the Styles team, where she met Simone Oliver, professor of the class Nikas is teaching this semester while Oliver is out, as she’s expecting her second child in September.

After she graduated, Nikas began at the Times as a web producer for the Styles section and managed the Times’ Facebook and Twitter accounts with Oliver, who now works at Facebook.

Nikas stresses the importance of finding a mentor like Oliver. Shy as a student, Nikas found that the guidance Oliver offered helped her find a voice. It’s a practice she hopes to bring into her own classroom, during which she will offer office hours for one-on-one conversations and building relationships with her students.

“I try to bring her ethos into every situation I am in, helping people and young journalists—because it’s really hard and it can be kind of intimidating to enter a space,” she says. “I do want to foster an environment which is welcoming and successful.”

The Future of Social Media

Today, Nikas is excited about live events and using social media as a tool for breaking news reporting. She also hopes to engage her class in creating consistent content specifically for social media and learning how to adapt to an ever-changing social media landscape.

“Consistency is key,” she says about posting on social media. “So even if, let’s say, a post doesn’t do well or doesn’t engage with an audience, then that’s just a learning experience on how to pivot to a different strategy.”

Learning from professionals in the industry is one of the many perks of participating in Newhouse NYC.

“There’s no question that our students understand social media from an everyday perspective,” says Franklin, “but in this class, they learn firsthand how companies and brands are using social platforms in a professional setting. Joanna lives and breathes social—from writing posts, to tracking data and growing engagement—and I know the students are going to learn so much from her.”

Nikas will begin teaching at Newhouse just as she reaches her eight-year mark at The New York Times, where she has juggled several roles and responsibilities. She doesn’t take it lightly, she says.

“I have constantly been learning,” she says. “I started with producing and then did writing and then editing. I just feel like I am growing still, every day, which is really amazing.”
