Description

The Medill School was founded in 1921, and named after Joseph Medill (1823–1899), owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune, which was then run by his grandsons Robert R. McCormick and Joseph Medill Patterson.{{cite book |publisher=Northwestern University |location=Evanston, Illinois |title=Bulletin |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0mjOAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA5 |year=1920 |page=5}}{{cite news |title=New Journalism School: Chicago Newspapers to Aid Students at Northwestern University |newspaper=The New York Times |date=November 14, 1920 |page=11 |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1920/11/14/113319414.pdf |access-date=January 9, 2011}}

The journalism program offers Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. The undergraduate curriculum requires a broad liberal arts education as well as the study and practice of journalism. The one-year master's curriculum is an intensive hands-on with students specializing in either: Health, Environment and Science; Magazine; Media Innovation and Content Strategy; Politics, Policy and Foreign Affairs; Social Justice and Investigative Reporting; Sports Media; or Video and Broadcast.{{Cite web|url=https://www.medill.northwestern.edu/journalism/graduate-journalism/index.html|title=Master of Science in Journalism|website=Medill School of Journalism}}

The Integrated Marketing Communications program offers a Master of Science degree and Undergraduate Certificate. The graduate level program has full-time, part-time and online options. Full-time students can pursue a specialization, choosing from brand strategy, content marketing, digital and interactive marketing, marketing analytics, strategic communications and media management.

Medill undergraduates participate in a journalism residency for one quarter in their junior or senior year, during which they intern in a professional newsroom or media organization. Media outlets across the United States—and in some cases, overseas—have participated in this program.

Medill is headquartered on the southern end of Northwestern's campus in Evanston, Illinois, but it also opened a program in 2008, at the branch campus Northwestern University in Qatar. Northwestern's also has a San Francisco campus, located at 44 Montgomery St., right in the city’s Financial District. It opened in fall 2016 and is a partnership between both Medill and Northwestern’s McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science. For many years the school's main location was in Fisk Hall. In fall 2002, the school opened the McCormick Foundation Center (formerly the McCormick Tribune Center), which features a professional-grade TV studio and multimedia classrooms for Medill's growing emphasis on new forms of media. It was generally known as the Medill School of Journalism. To reflect the broader focus the faculty approved the expanded name "Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications" in late 2010, and the new name was approved by the university board of trustees in March 2011.{{cite press release|title=Board of Trustees Approves Expansion of Medill's Name |date=March 11, 2011 |publisher=Northwestern University |url=http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/newsreleases/archives.aspx?id=183028 |access-date=March 14, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110317232211/http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/newsreleases/archives.aspx?id=183028 |archive-date=March 17, 2011 }}

Medill is known for graduates who "mix high-tech savvy with hard-nosed reporting skills". The Knight Lab{{cite web|url=http://knightlab.northwestern.edu |title= The Knight Lab}} is a joint initiative of Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism and the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation announced in 2011. It combines the disciplines of journalism and computer science together to establish a "media innovation lab", one of the few of its kind in the country.{{cite news |title= Medill and McCormick launch a news innovation lab with $4.2 million in Knight funding |author= Megan Garber |date= February 3, 2011 |url= http://www.niemanlab.org/2011/02/medill-and-mccormick-launch-a-news-innovation-lab-with-4-2-million-in-knight-funding/ |work= Nieman Journalism Lab |access-date= February 22, 2011 }}{{cite news |title= Knight News Innovation Laboratory Launches: Unique journalism and engineering partnership seeks to speed local media innovation |author= Wendy Leopold |date= February 3, 2011 |url= http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2011/02/knight-news-innovation.html |access-date= February 22, 2011 }} According to Northwestern's press release:

:"Among the Knight Lab's goals is to maximize use of open-source software already developed through the Knight News Challenge, a $25 million worldwide media innovation contest now in its fifth year, as well as from other grantees from Knight Foundation's $100 million media innovation initiative...Those include projects such as Open Block, an aggregator of public information; Document Cloud, for managing and displaying original documents; Public Insight Journalism, which helps newsrooms tap the wisdom of the community to find better news sources; and Spot.Us, a new way of "crowd-funding" journalism."

Medill Justice Project

{{for|the Law School project|Northwestern University School of Law#Center on Wrongful Convictions}}

The Medill Justice Project, originally known as the Medill Innocence Project, began in 1999, as an effort by Medill faculty and students to reinvestigate murder convictions in Illinois and determine if people were wrongly convicted. This effort has helped to free 11 men, including murderer Anthony Porter{{cite news

In 1999, the project successfully worked to free Anthony Porter, who had been convicted of killing two people. Alstory Simon made a video confession to the crimes, encouraged by the Medill Justice Project and a private investigator. Simon pleaded guilty and was eventually sentenced to 37 years. However, in 2014, authorities exonerated Simon and freed him from prison. Anita Alvarez, of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, criticized David Protess, the Innocence Project founder and director, and long-time Medill journalism professor. Prosecutors said Protess, private investigator Paul Ciolino, and Medill students manipulated Simon into making the confession. The Innocence Project allegedly told Simon he could be executed, said he could earn money from book deals if he cooperated, and falsely claimed there was a witness who implicated Simon.{{cite news | url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-illinois-murder-innocence-idUSKBN0IJ21I20141030 | title=Illinois releases prisoner, bringing wrongful conviction full circle | work=Reuters | date=October 30, 2014 | access-date=2014-11-01 | author=Ortiz, Fiona}} The Medill Innocence Project has been accused of framing Alstory Simon for the murders.[https://www.thedailybeast.com/wrongly-imprisoned-for-15-years-thanks-to-an-innocence-project Wrongly Imprisoned for 15 Years Thanks to an Innocence Project][https://www.vox.com/2014/11/18/7199141/innocence-project-wrongful-convictions Did a group dedicated to exonerating inmates put an innocent man in jail?] In 2015, Simon sued Northwestern for $40 million; the case was settled in 2018 for an undisclosed amount.{{cite web |title=Settlement reached in wrongful conviction lawsuit against Northwestern and former professor |website=Chicago Tribune |date=June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230327225707/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-alstory-simon-lawsuit-settlement-20180601-story.html |archive-date=2023-03-27 |url-status=live |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-alstory-simon-lawsuit-settlement-20180601-story.html}}

From 2009 to 2011, the project was involved in a dispute with the Cook County, Illinois state's attorney over the handling of the Anthony McKinney case.{{cite news |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-nu-subpoena-19-oct19,0,3778012.story |title=Northwestern University's Medill Innocence Project is in a standoff with Cook County prosecutors |first1=Jeff |last1=Long |date= October 19, 2009 |work= Chicago Tribune |access-date= February 22, 2011 }} The university claimed reporter's privilege in resisting a subpoena for Justice Project records of the case, while the state claimed the project had been acting as investigators in behalf of McKinney's counsel.

Spiegel Research Center

The Medill IMC Spiegel Digital & Database Research Center is the first research center at Medill. Founded in 2011, it is funded by a gift from the late Ted Spiegel, Medill professor emeritus and member of the family who founded the Spiegel (catalog), and his wife Audrey.

Medill News Service

{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2011}}

= Chicago =

Medill operates a working newsroom in downtown Chicago as part of its graduate journalism program. Graduate students have been providing news coverage to client newspapers since 1995. Each quarter, student reporters are assigned to cover stories about city and county government, the events in state and federal courts, business and economic development, health and science issues and the arts and sports.{{Cite web|title=Chicago Newsroom – Medill – Northwestern University|url=https://www.medill.northwestern.edu/journalism/graduate-journalism/exclusive-opportunities/chicago-newsroom.html|access-date=2020-07-12|website=medill.northwestern.edu|language=en}}

=Washington, D.C.=

Every Medill News Service journalist also has the opportunity to spend a quarter in a Washington, D.C., covering 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.{{Cite web|title=About|url=https://dc.medill.northwestern.edu/about-us/|access-date=2020-07-12|agency=Medill News Service|language=en-US}}

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.{{cite web|title=Medill on the Hill |url=http://medillonthehill.medill.northwestern.edu|website=medillonthehill.medill.northwestern.edu}} Print correspondents transmit stories electronically every day. Television stories are sent by network feed or satellite, or shipped overnight, as each station requires.

San Francisco campus

For Medill IMC students or Master's Journalism students of the Media Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIE) specialization,{{Cite web|url=https://www.northwestern.edu/san-francisco/|title=Northwestern – San Francisco Campus}} a new campus in downtown San Francisco opened in September 2016 to facilitate special curricula during one quarter of their program.

For Medill MIE students, this campus is the epicenter of their studies related to human-centered design, the business of startups, and learning to code and work within a tech-industry company. While taking courses related to creating startups, students also work 2 days a week with a practicum company (internship).{{Cite web|url=https://www.medill.northwestern.edu/journalism/graduate-journalism/specializations/media-innovation-and-entrepreneurship/index.html|title=Media Innovation and Entrepreneurship Specialization}}

"Quotegate" controversy

Image:John Lavine.jpg ]]

In a February 11, 2008 column written for the Daily Northwestern, Medill senior David Spett questioned the use of anonymous sources by Dean John Lavine in a letter Lavine wrote for Medill's alumni magazine. Lavine attributed a quote praising a Medill marketing class to "a Medill junior" in the class. Spett reportedly called all 29 students enrolled in the class, including all five Medill juniors, and according to Spett, all denied saying the quote.{{cite news|url=http://www.dailynorthwestern.com/2.13897/the-dean-s-unnamed-sources-1.1921912 |title=The Dean's Unnamed Sources |last=Spett |first=David |date=February 11, 2009 |work=The Daily Northwestern |access-date=January 9, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606135120/http://www.dailynorthwestern.com/2.13897/the-dean-s-unnamed-sources-1.1921912 |archive-date=June 6, 2011 }} Lavine denied fabricating the quote in a February 20 email to students, but expressed regret for what he called "poor judgment" in not keeping his notes.

The so-called "Quotegate" controversy was the focus of stories, columns and editorials in local and national media, including the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, The Washington Post and Editor & Publisher.{{cite news| url=http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2008/03/webliography-qu.html | work=Chicago Tribune | title=Webliography: Quotegate | date=March 8, 2008}}
