What are acceptable work samples?
We expect journalists to be sensitive to language and to organize their thoughts clearly and coherently. We ask for the three works samples (preferably published) to demonstrate those qualities. Please limit each sample to five pages or fewer; excerpts from longer pieces are acceptable. Two of the three items must be writing samples, but the third sample may be an audio or video tape, a website, or a photo essay/portfolio. Applicants who are interested in the broadcast or documentary sequence may choose to submit a documentary work sample in DVD format, but this is not a requirement for admission. A video sample may be submitted only if the student produced and directed the piece. Audio tapes must be accompanied by a script. Photographic samples should include 6-10 images, 8″ x 11″ maximum size. A CD is also acceptable for photographic samples. Applicants may send print samples in another language, but an English translation must be included. Academic writing samples and research paper
