The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's (SAIC) Master of Arts in New Arts Journalism program reinterprets and transforms the skills of a traditional journalist into the multitasking demands of a contemporary arts journalist where art writing, editing, and design skills are intertwined. Unlike journalism schools that add an arts emphasis, SAIC is a vibrant school of art and design in which New Arts Journalism students can combine the in-depth study of arts and journalism, and work closely with artists, art historians, and cultural critics.

The Master of Arts in New Arts Journalism program focuses on refining the technical aspects of writing in print and online, and provides workshop critiquing by peers and faculty.
The program's curriculum includes courses in print production and design, photography, video, web-based formats, and the history and theory of contemporary art. Coursework also covers the format of reviews, features, critical essays, investigative reporting, and opinion pieces, in the context of cultural journalism.
The New Arts Journalism faculty is composed of working critics and designers from major local and national publications.
Numerous publishing opportunities are available through resources like SAIC's award-winning F Newsmagazine and fnewsmagazine.com, local and national media, and class-created publications.
A second-year internship through SAIC's Cooperative Education Internship Program allows students to work in a professional environment with various local and national companies. New Arts Journalism graduates have completed internships at MTV, The Nation, Time Out Chicago, WBEZ, WTTW, and various public relations firms, concentrating on promoting arts and cultural institutions.
New Arts Journalism alumni have recently accepted jobs at news outlets and a variety of other organizations, including Carol Fox & Associates; contratiempo magazine; Kavi Gupta Gallery; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Northwestern University; Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP; and VH1.
