The NYT has been known for never hiring people out of the school. They basically hire the best ones they find after a couple of years on the Job. they don't really care about where you got your education... what is really important is your Clip Portfolio.
I would suggest you also to have a look at the Columbia Master in International Affairs with a concentration in International Media and Communication. It's a two year program, generally highly considered in the field...
About Columbia School of Journalism: getting in can be hard or easy depending on who you are. They have a test, and you can download past years tests from their website. A lot of internationals are applying to Columbia because it's in NY.
I might be partial to Columbia... but I guess its location just puts it one step above every other school. New York City is the world media capital city, and being in NY (as opposed to being somewhere in the countryside) does give you a lot, when considering the specific field you want to work in. Journalism is made where things are happening, and where the media companies are.
