About Bullpen

The "bullpen," in newsie parlance, is "the open area where the reporters and many editors sit, making calls, writing and gossiping," according to one journalism glossary.

Working writers swapping hard-won wisdom about the art and craft of journalism: That's what Bullpen is all about. At NYU, some of journalism's most important names drop by to discuss their work and debate the media issues of the day. To document their appearances, Professor Mark Dery and a staff of student writers launched Bullpen in fall 2004, as a resource for NYU students, Department faculty, and anyone interested in journalism and the newsmedia.
