Episode Details

Original tape date: May 12, 2017. First aired: June 14, 2017.

On this episode of 219 West, we'll look at New York's "free-tuition" bill, the Excelsior Scholarship. The Governor made headlines by announcing the first-in-the-nation program, but how many students will it really help? Plus: the staggering wage gap between male and female athletes; noise restrictions in a New Jersey town; and the inspiring story of Ezzy, a young rapper from Cleveland. And we'll celebrate the 10th anniversary of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.

  • About this series

  • 219West, once the home of the fabled New York Herald-Tribune, is now the address of the CUNY's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. From their home base on 40th Street, just off Times Square in the heart of New York City, our student reporters fan out to neighborhoods across the city, in all five boroughs, to provide in-depth coverage of stories frequently overlooked or ignored by mainstream media. 219West looks at the people and the issues that move and shake our city's communities - stories that often fly under the radar - and gives them air on CUNY-TV.
