Journalism Schools

Besides NYU (which I've posted about before), what are some excellent schools for journalism in the NYC area or close to NYC? I am not looking for one of those "only 1400 on SATs" schools. Something that is not "the" most difficult school to get into, but not a school that lets anyone off the street in.

And if possible, any school in a major city in the New England area (preferably MA or CT, besides Boston University)?

At the west end of NYS: St. Bonaventure University (about 90 minutes south of Buffalo)has a great reputation in print and broadcast media. I majored there back when it was just Journalism and not Mass Communication.

It's a Catholic sponsored university (ie it receives outside funding as well as from Catholic sources) and stresses a liberal arts education. I am grateful that classes like philosophy, theology and the classics were required when I attended because it gave me a richer understanding of so many things. And, when you're a writer, that kind of perspective is invaluable.

Several graduates are doing quite well all over the country Two "notables" include Vicki Corderi of NBC who attended there awhile--I think she was a year or so behind me...? She may have transferred her junior year????

One of my own classmates was Neil Cavuto who has a show on the Fox News Channel.
