  • Admission Links

  • Students in the Creative Publishing and Critical Journalism (CPCJ) program broaden understanding of traditional journalism through their research on design, digital publishing, alternative media, and more. Their research is done in collaboration with leading scholars, intellectuals, and other graduate programs and centers at The New School, combining theoretical foundations with broad critical analysis.

    Back Matter Magazine

    Back Matter is a student-run print and digital magazine that examines New York City's publishing industry. It is produced by CPCJ and other New School students in the recurring spring class Design and the Future of Publishing.

    Read the 2023 edition and a reflection on the 2023 production process. Also, learn more about the changes required to publish a magazine during a pandemic and how students adapted.
