Newhouse Unveils New Online Bachelor’s in Strategic Communications
A new online bachelor’s in strategic communications program expands the Newhouse School’s offerings to students seeking flexibility with their schedule but the renowned academic rigor that comes with a Newhouse undergraduate education.
Courses in the four-year degree program will be taught online by the same faculty who teach on campus at the nation’s top communications school. Newhouse professors designed the curriculum based on the standards set by the accrediting organization for schools of communications.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the Newhouse School to extend our outstanding academic programs to new populations and meet the needs of students also balancing work, family or other obligations,” Dean Mark J. Lodato said.
“What does not change is our commitment to equip all students—whether online or learning on campus— with the skills they need to write, create and lead in the evolving communications landscape,” he added.
Strategic communications students will have opportunities to connect and network with Newhouse’s large and loyal alumni network. The bachelor’s in strategic communications diploma will be identical to those earned on campus, carrying the same prestige and recognition as any other undergraduate Newhouse degree.
Applications for the online bachelor’s in strategic communications program open in August, with three start dates a year to begin coursework. Other highlights:
- Students will be able transfer up to 60 credits.
- Each course last eight weeks.
- The program blends asynchronous and synchronous learning.
Foundational strategic communications classes will cover topics including digital analytics and multimedia production, as well as trends and technology in media. Graduates will be prepared to pursue careers in fields across the communications spectrum including public relations, corporate affairs and digital media strategy.
The strategic communications bachelor’s program builds on the success of the Newhouse School’s existing online master’s programs in communications and communications management.
“The Newhouse School has established a reputation for excellence in educating generations of students for six decades,” said Carolyn Hedges, director of virtual instruction. “The new strategic communications program offers students flexibility to pursue a Newhouse degree at their own pace while having the opportunity to learn from our top-of-class professors and make connections with our successful alumni.”
Spring 2024 Dean’s List
The following undergraduate students enrolled in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications were among those named to the Dean’s List for the Spring 2024 semester. To qualify, students completed a minimum of 12 graded credit hours and earned at least a 3.5 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) during the semester.

Byron Allen to Receive Dressler Leadership Award at 2024 Mirror Awards
MLK50: Justice Through Journalism to be honored with Lorraine Branham IDEA Award at the June 13 event in New York City, while CNN anchor and national correspondent Erica Hill will serve as master of ceremonies.
Byron Allen, the founder, chairman and CEO of Allen Media Group, will receive the Fred Dressler Leadership Award at the 2024 Mirror Awards on June 13 in New York City.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, Allen Media Group owns 27 ABC-NBC-CBS-FOX network affiliate broadcast television stations in 21 U.S. markets and 12 24-hour HD television networks serving nearly 300 million subscribers. Allen Media Group is the first African American-owned multi-platform media company producing and distributing wide-release motion pictures and content for all platforms.
The Dressler Award is given to individuals or organizations that have made distinct and consistent contributions to the public’s understanding of the media. Past recipients include: Judy Woodruff, senior correspondent at PBS; Jorge Ramos, anchor with Univision Noticias; Sheila Nevins, executive producer and former president of HBO Documentary Films and Family for Home Box Office; legendary journalist Tom Brokaw of NBC; and Dean Baquet, executive editor of The New York Times.
MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, an award-winning nonprofit digital newsroom in Memphis, Tennessee, focused on the intersection of poverty, power and policy, will be honored with the Lorraine Branham IDEA Award. Accepting the award will be founding editor and publisher Wendi C. Thomas.
Established in 2021 in honor of late Newhouse Dean Emerita Lorraine Branham, the IDEA Award recognizes a media organization that has worked to promote inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility over the previous year. Specifically, the award acknowledges the hiring and development of leadership talent who create change, both to the organizations they oversee and the content they produce. The inaugural Lorraine Branham IDEA Award went to Brown Girls Doc Mafia. Previous recipients also include The 19th News and Amplifier.
Master of Ceremonies
CNN anchor and national correspondent Erica Hill will serve as master of ceremonies for the evening. An award-winning journalist and veteran of morning TV news , Hill most recently anchored HLN’s “On the Story with Erica Hill,” a daily, New York-based daytime news program.
During her CNN tenure, Hill co-hosted six CNN/Sesame Street Town Hall specials for families about COVID-19, one of which earned the network’s first-ever Daytime Emmy Award nomination. Hill was also part of an NBC News team that won a Peabody Award in 2013. Two years later, the Alliance for Women in Media honored her with the Gracie Award for Outstanding Correspondent.

Established by the Newhouse School in 2006, the Mirror Awards honor the reporters, editors and teams of writers who hold a mirror to their own industry for the public’s benefit.
The competition is open to anyone who conducts reporting, commentary or criticism of the media industries in a format intended for a mass audience. Eligible work includes print, broadcast and online editorial content focusing on the development or distribution of news and entertainment.

Remembering Dow Smith
This message was first sent to Newhouse faculty and staff.
Colleagues:
I write again today to pay tribute to someone who many Newhouse alumni in broadcast journalism, faculty and staff knew well.
Dow Smith, a retired associate professor of broadcast journalism, passed away on April 2 in Albany. He was 83. While I never worked with Dow at Newhouse, he had a sterling reputation in broadcast circles as a newsroom leader, dedicated educator and as the author of a definitive textbook on producing TV news. I used and assigned his outstanding textbook, Power Producer, at both the University of Maryland and Arizona State University. His career as a producer, news director and TV station general manager included tenures in multiple markets around the country under multiple ownerships before joining the Newhouse School in 1995.
Associate professor and former associate dean Dona Hayes describes Dow as a “fountain of broadcast journalism knowledge” who knew everyone in the business. In particular, Dow loved teaching news producing and spread his enthusiasm for behind-the-camera work to the scores of students he trained at Newhouse. A U.S. Navy veteran, Dow also served as director of the Military and Visual Journalism program.
Recalls Dona: “Dow was also a special colleague because he cared about people. He and I shared artistic sons whom we often kibitzed about. He adored all of his children, grandchildren, his wife, Bonnie, the Sears catalogue house they settled in near Albany and fast British cars.”
Dow retired from the Newhouse School in 2008 but left a lasting impression with the many students he mentored who went on to successful careers as broadcast journalists and news leaders. Here is part of a touching tribute from Kyle Grimes ’99, vice president for New England of Hearst Television and president and general manager of WCVB-TV in Boston:
“Dow was inimitable. Larger than life in stature and spirit. He developed the newscast producer program at Newhouse and added to the rich legacy of the school by creating yet one more attribute that differentiated Newhouse from its peers.”
A private memorial service is planned for this summer. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked in his obituary for donations to be made to the Committee to Protect Journalists. On behalf of the Newhouse community, I want to extend our sincerest condolences to Dow’s family and friends.
Sincerely,
Mark

Newhouse Professor Harriet Brown Selected as 2024-2025 Fulbright U.S. Scholar
Harriet Brown, a professor of magazine, news and digital journalism (MND) at the Newhouse School, has been chosen as a 2024-2025 Fulbright U.S. Scholar. She will take her Fulbright semester in Israel during spring 2025.
Brown’s Fulbright award is a combination teaching and research grant. During her time in Israel, she will teach a class at the University of Haifa and report on an ongoing project with photographer Lynn Johnson that looks at families who use cannabis to help their medically fragile children. Syracuse University Press has tentatively agreed to publish a book based on the reporting, Brown said.
Brown cited one of the reasons she applied for the competitive fellowship was, that even before the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, “it was becoming less and less politically acceptable to be a Jewish American academic with connections to Israel. This is even more true now. I hope to build some bridges between Israeli and American academics and journalists.”
The prestigious Fulbright Scholar Awards allow recipients to teach and lead research abroad, while also helping to play an essential role in U.S. public diplomacy by forming long-term relationships between people and countries.
In announcing the award, the Fulbright program said they hope Syracuse University can use Brown’s engagement in Israel to establish research and relationships, interact with University alumni and more.
Brown, also the MND graduate program director at Newhouse, has more than 30 years of experience as both a writer and editor for many national magazines, including The New York Times Magazine, O Magazine, Vogue, Psychology Today, Prevention and Parenting.
In 2011, she was awarded the John F. Murray Award for Strategic Communication for the Public Good by the University of Iowa Journalism School.
Brown has written several books, including “Shadow Daughter: A Memoir of Estrangement,” “Brave Girl Eating: A Family’s Struggle with Anorexia” and “Body of Truth: How Science, History, and Culture Drive Our Obsession with Weight—and What We Can Do About It.”
Award-Winning Journalist Holliday Moore Named News Director of WAER
WAER has named award-winning reporter, anchor and journalism instructor Holliday Moore as the public radio station’s next news and public affairs director. She is scheduled to start in mid-April.
Moore arrives in Syracuse after working in the Phoenix, Arizona, market, where her extensive experience includes tenures as a Morning Edition reporter for KJZZ-FM, the local NPR affiliate; producing, anchoring and reporting for KTAR News Radio; and serving as a political and senior reporter for KNXV-TV.
Her distinguished résumé includes two Emmy Awards, three Edward R. Murrow Awards and a Walter Cronkite Political Excellence Award. She also worked for nine years as a journalism instructor at Arizona State University’s Cronkite School of Journalism.
At WAER, Moore will lead the station’s professional staff and oversee the mission of developing Newhouse School students aspiring to be broadcasters and journalists.
Moore’s classroom experience gives her insight into ways to help students learn and grow, while producing content that can meet the professional standards of NPR and WAER, said station general manager Chris Bolt.
Previous stops for Moore include newsrooms in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Washington, D.C. A graduate of Arizona State with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism and marketing and management, Moore also owns and operates a news media consulting business for regional news stations, businesses and nonprofits.
