The Trump administration has paused new visa interview scheduling for foreign media workers and students, particularly affecting those applying to journalism schools and fellowships. Secretary of State Marco Rubio instructed American embassies and consulates to halt these interviews until new guidelines on social media screening are released. This could impact numerous international students, as a significant percentage of students in top journalism programs are foreign nationals. The uncertainty surrounding visa approvals may deter international applicants looking to pursue journalism education in the U.S. during the 2025-2026 academic year.
