Well-known and respected Stanford course for magazine leadership is reborn at Yale

One of the best known professional publishing courses was at Stanford University in California for 32 years, but ended in 2009. The program was aimed at both magazine and book streams and had a reputation as an intensive and concentrated course training publishing professionals for leadership positions, principally in the U.S. but also from elsewhere, including Canada. (For instance, at least one prize winner in the ACE circulation awards used the money to pay her Stanford tuition.)

Now, Yale University has decided to pick up the program and carry it on, and the inaugural session of the Yale Publishing Course is July 18 - 23, with the theme "Leadership Strategies in a Time of Transition". It takes place on the Yale campus and is limited to 80 participants.
