Counterblast is a publication of the Department of Culture and Communication at New York University:

The Department of Culture and Communication enrolls nearly one thousand undergraduate and graduate students in its nationally renowned programs in Communication Studies (undergraduate), Speech and Interpersonal Communication (MA), Media Ecology (MA and PhD) and Graphic Communication (MA, PhD).

Our faculty are leaders in their fields, and commit themselves not only to excellence in research but in teaching as well. Located in the world's media capital, New York City, our students regularly pursue outstanding internship opportunities while studying with us. Our alumni include communication industry leaders, teachers, professors and scholars, lawyers, journalists, executives, media educators, directors of non-profit organizations, and much more.

We are committed to bringing a global vision to the study of communication through NYU's undergraduate study abroad programs, and our special department-specific summer study abroad programs in Amsterdam and Tokyo/Beijing.

The Department fosters a lively student culture, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. We hold annual graduate and undergraduate conferences, sponsor a variety of student clubs and organizations, and coordinate lectures and speaker series with some of the most renowned media and communication scholars from across the country and around the world.
