rodney: I should have suggested that the OP check the Newhouse website, because they do have some impressive work going on in new media/convergence journalism. I think it would be an excellent choice, and I would recommend it to just about anyone. I just don’t know anything about UGa.

My son has chosen the University of Missouri journalism school. Newhouse was a contender, and he was honored to be accepted. We really enjoyed our visit there last year and were impressed by what they offer. The deciding factors included size and cost. The Mizzou j-school has everything, he wanted a big university, and he’s in the honors college there. We have family in St. Louis, and he has been careful to look at academic interest first and location second. (I don’t think the weather in Syracuse was even an obstacle ) And obviously, the cost is much lower, especially since he gets in-state tuition thanks to a legacy scholarship (his dad is an alum).

Good luck to everyone who’s making their decisions now.
