Medill was founded in 1921 and named after Joseph Medill, owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune beginning in the 1850s. For many years the school's main location was in Fisk Hall on the south end of Northwestern's campus. In fall 2002 the school opened the McCormick Tribune Center, which features a professional-grade TV studio and numerous multimedia classrooms in line with Medill's growing emphasis on new forms of media. Joseph Medill (April 6, 1823–March 16, 1899) is better known as the business manager and managing editor of the Chicago Tribune than as mayor of Chicago, Illinois, although his term in office occurred during two of the most important years of the citys history as Chicago tried to... // The Chicago Tribune is a major daily newspaper based in Chicago, Illinois and owned by the Tribune Company. ...

The journalism program offers bachelor of science and master of science degrees with concentrations in newspaper, magazine or broadcast. The IMC program offers a master's degree over five quarters with concentrations in advertising, public relations, and direct, database and e-commerce marketing. Medill's undergraduate curriculum requires students to engage in a broad liberal arts field of study as well as the technical aspects of journalism. Journalism is a discipline of gathering, writing and reporting news, and more broadly it includes the process of editing and presenting the news articles. ...

A "Medill F" is received when a student makes a factual error on a story, serving notice to students of the importance of correct information in the news media.

In their junior year, Medill undergraduates typically go on a teaching media experience for one quarter, where they intern in their area of interest: broadcast, magazine or newspaper. Numerous publications and media outlets across the United States--and in some cases, overseas--have participated in this program.

Currently, Medill is embroiled in internal controversy over efforts to more closely align the Integrated Marketing and Communications faculty with the journalism faculty. Many journalism alumni feel this is contributing to the "watering down" of the Medill curriculum. Dean John Lavine has taken considerable flack from Medill alums for his decision to move the school in this direction.

Medill News Service - Chicago

The Medill News Service - Chicago is a working news bureau in downtown Chicago that operates as part of Northwestern University's graduate journalism program at the Medill School.

Medill graduate students have been providing news coverage to client newspapers since 1995. Each quarter, approximately 40 graduate students are assigned to cover stories about city and county government, the events in state and federal courts, business and economic development and the arts and sports.

Medill News Service - Washington, D.C.

Every Medill News Service journalist becomes a Washington correspondent for a local news outlet. They cover breaking news as-well-as in-depth, enterprise stories on politics, civil rights, energy, technology or education. Medill journalists attend congressional proceedings, press conferences, conventions and congressional hearings and connect those stories to the communities they cover -- not an insider audience.

The Medill News Service serves newspapers, Web sites, television stations and radio stations, which all pay a quarterly fee to help cover production and communications costs. Print correspondents transmit stories electronically every day. Television stories are sent by network feed or satellite, or shipped overnight, as each station requires.
