Columbia News Tonight

About this original series

Each Thursday morning, 25 intrepid young reporters and producers from the Columbia School of Journalism get together to ask a simple question: What are New Yorkers talking about this week? Over the next 36 hours, a 30-minute newscast is researched, reported, edited and, produced, before it is broadcast Friday evening. The result is Columbia News Tonight.
