The AJO program changed my life. I became a journalist and a lifelong student in the pursuit of truth. The courses not only broadened my technical skills but also challenged my views on the news industry. The assignments helped me find purpose and a sense of duty. I couldn’t have gotten my dream job without the program, or I surely couldn’t do the job well without the high journalistic standards the professors instilled in me at NYU.”
