Overview
The Stigler Center’s mission includes efforts to enrich the public debate on matters related to the interaction between politics and the economy. The media plays a crucial role in that effort by gathering and disseminating information on the behavior of different players in the market and uncovering potential wrongdoings.
Details
With the aim of shaping the next generation of leaders in business reporting, we launched the Stigler Center’s Journalists in Residence Program in 2017. The program provides a transformative learning experience for journalists working in all forms of media around the world. Participants spend approximately 12 weeks on our Hyde Park campus, auditing classes, participating in Stigler Center events, collaborating with peers, and networking with the university’s scholars.
Program expectations
Program participants are expected to:
- Audit three classes
- Attend and actively participate in classes and complete all required readings and assignments
- Participate in Stigler lectures, lunches, and social events as well as other events recommended by the center
- Sign a letter of agreement with the center to indicate that the program guidelines and expectations are mutually agreed upon
