NEW Calendar

Dear JSchool Community,

In an effort to streamline our communications about events we have created a new online Google calendar that can be imported into your personal Google calendar (the old version included a number of events not relevant for students).

The instructions for the import (and deleting the old one first if you had imported it) appear below.

Please note that because some events are scheduled last minute, the calendar is always being updated so you should check it often.

***************************

IMPORTING GOOGLE CALENDAR INTO YOUR GOOGLE CALENDAR
1. Navigate to: http://bit.ly/CJScal
2. Click the “+ Google Calendar” Button on the bottom right of this Columbia J-school Calendar 2.0
3. Accept the notice(s) to add the calendar.

REMOVING OLD CALENDAR (if you had imported it – do before the import of new one)
To do so, you can only remove a calendar from your computer, and not the Google Calendar app. This also applies to Android, iPhone and iPad devices.

Remove a calendar from your list permanently:

1. On your computer, open Google Calendar.
2. In the top right, click the Settings icon > Settings.
3. At the top of the page, click the Calendars tab.
4. Find the calendar you no longer want access to (Columbia Journalism School Events), and click the Unsubscribe link on the right. Now you no longer have access to the calendar or its events.

For additional calendar removal information please see: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37188?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en&oco=1

This seminar teaches students to prepare a book proposal, including an overview essay and a sample chapter, both at least 4,000 words long. Each student must enter the class with sufficient material from elsewhere or an idea that can be researched in the New York area. Students will not be permitted to use their Master’s Project for this seminar. Coursework ranges from intensive study of literary nonfiction and journalistic fiction, with related writing assignments on a weekly basis, to instruction in the techniques of reporting, writing extended narrative and producing a book proposal. Guest speakers from the publishing industry appear frequently. Enrollment is limited with the approval of the instructor. Interested students should attend the information session where the application process will be discussed.
