applications open for argentina 2027

The three-credit course, JRN 413: Journalisms of the Global South, will culminate in an international reporting visit to Argentina, one of the most vibrant cultural and political centers in Latin America.

The Marie Colvin Center is offering a unique, boots-on-the-ground reporting opportunity for senior and junior journalism and communication students. Throughout the semester, students will work on individual and collaborative projects — identifying stories, conducting interviews, and preparing for the two-week reporting visit to Buenos Aires and Ushuaia, Argentina, from May 22 - June 5, 2027. Travel and accommodation expenses are provided by the Journalism Without Walls program through generous support by SoCJ alumna Ivana Stolnik-Lourie '16.
