Hampton University’s Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications announced a partnership Wednesday with Bloomberg L.P. to prepare students for careers in business journalism and communications.
The partnership, which is launching this spring with a new Scripps Howard School course in business journalism, includes a grant towards the establishment of a financial newsroom, complete with digital stock tickers, computers and access to the Bloomberg Professional Service, the product that revolutionized the way financial news, data and analytics are delivered to financial professionals worldwide.
“Opportunities to cover business and financial news throughout the world are expanding,” said Scripps Dean Brett Pulley, a veteran business journalist whose career includes three years as a New York-based reporter with Bloomberg News. “Business news is growing across digital platforms and some of the best-paying jobs in journalism are in business news. This partnership will enable us to prepare our students to take advantage of those opportunities.”
Pulley is a Hampton University graduate and a former correspondent at Bloomberg News, Forbes magazine, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
