Your last qualification may be hard to meet and i would question whether there
is a need for a university's daily paper to be connected to the PJ educational
program....

I would suggest that the PJ program at the Rochester Institute of Technology is
excellent. Our students regularly place among the winners in several of the PJ
and otherwise competitions organized by reputable PJ organizations including
newspapers, magazines, and manufacturers of equipment.

....

cheers,
andy

New England School of Photography in Kendall Square, Boston has such a
program.

  well, the university of missouri has a pretty good one, and they publish
the _columbia missourian_ daily broadsheet. (this is NOT the school paper).
bill kuykendall (sp) is the director of the program last i heard.
(i'm a grad of the program in 78). columbia is a nice place to live 
according to the places rated almanac too (i concur).
  the univ of fla used to have a decent program, and gville is nice, too.
  i would heartily recommend MU.

good luck!

I would have to guess that most schools with journalism programs would also
have photojournalism sub-fields.... at least that's how it is at the UofA...
also, a lot of the people who work at the ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT (school paper)
as photographers aren't even journalism majors....

The Visual Communications program at Ohio University in Athens,OH is very 
highly regarded. Worth checking out.  Athens is a neat town, too.

  A:Well, this school doesn't have much in the way of a photojournalism
  programs- in fact, there's only one photojournalism CLASS to take here.  
  However, we do have a good journalism dept. and would recommend it if you're 
  interested in doing any writing and already have a good grip on the concept
  photography and photojournalism.  If so, I'd recommend working up a portfolio
  if you don't already have one, and trying for a position at the Rocky Mountain
  Collegian, where I currently work as a photographer.  It's been
named one of
  the top ten student papers in the country by more than one organization, and
  in my opinion, has an exceptional photo desk; not to be self-praising,
  however.  The Denver Post has called us in the past for local coverage, and 
  the local paper has severalof our photogs on their staff as well.
  We're on the edge of technology, for the most part:
    We've got a new MacIntosh network, AP wire, and AP LeafDesk.  LeafDesk is 
    a computer that inputs images from the neg/positive via a scanner for
    processing:i.e. contrast, brightness, color balance, dodging/burning, etc.
    The half-tone can be directly outputed form this.  It also receives from the
    AP photostream.

  Anyway, that's my two cents worth.
