The Philip Merrill College of Journalism is the journalism school of the University of Maryland, College Park.

History

The college was originally founded in 1947 and was renamed after newspaper editor Philip Merrill in 2001.

The university's student newspaper, The Diamondback, is not affiliated with the school. However, the school provides opportunities for students to publish work with the Capital News Service (Maryland), a wire service serving print, broadcast and online media in the Washington, D.C. region and Maryland Newsline, a live half-hour three-day-per-week news broadcast (during the fall and spring semesters) that reaches more than 500,000 households in the greater Washington metropolitan area. The newscast is now streamed via YouTube in HD.

The school is home to the National Association of Black Journalists, the largest organization of journalists of color in the U.S. From 1987 to 2015, the university published American Journalism Review, a magazine covering print, television, radio and online media; in 2013 AJR became an online-only publication, and in 2015, the college announced that it was terminating the journal.

In 2018, the Scripps Howard Foundation established the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism.

Emmy Award-winners include Eaton Broadcast Chair Mark Feldstein.
