Our mission at the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for Business Journalism is to enhance the quality and depth of business and economic news coverage. Financed by a $3 million grant from the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Family Foundation, the Center was established at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York in January 2014 to support veteran business journalists and train young reporters entering the field.
The McGraw Center commissions in-depth stories on serious economic and business topics through the McGraw Fellowships in Business Journalism. The Fellowships provide experienced journalists with a stipend of $5,000 a month for up to three months to produce a distinguished piece of investigative, analytic or narrative business journalism. We publish the stories in partnership with established media outlets. The stories also run on the McGraw Center web site.
