About the John Thompson 2024 Scholarship
The Business School at Dublin City University is pleased to announce the John Thompson 2024 Scholarship application period, in collaboration with the late John Thompson’s family and friends. The complete cost of tuition for one student enrolled in the MSc in Digital Marketing program is covered by this distinguished grant.
The John Thompson Scholarship was founded in 2008 as a memorial to John Thompson, a prominent personality in Irish journalism who had an impact spanning almost three decades. John played a pivotal role in the establishment and prosperity of prominent journals like The Irish Farmers Journal, The Sunday World, and U Magazine. He held executive positions at Associated Newspapers Ireland as Chief Executive and Independent Star Limited as Managing Director.
John’s idea demonstrated how marketing and journalism work well together, especially when it comes to how both disciplines may increase customer involvement and business success. His goal of bridging online journalism with digital marketing is shown in this scholarship. Students with backgrounds in business, journalism, and other fields are encouraged to investigate digital marketing and gain an understanding of how media and journalism interact with one another.
