Northwestern’s Medill BS in Journalism fuses shoe-leather reporting with Python-powered data digs and immersive AR narratives. From Day 1, students pitch stories in Chicago neighborhoods, crunch FOIA datasets, and master DSLR, podcast, and mobile-video workflows. Six-month residencies place juniors inside national newsrooms, investigative nonprofits, or global bureaus, while a media-innovation lab lets teams prototype tools that fight misinformation. Graduates break news at The New York Times, uncover corruption in Pulitzer-winning investigations, or craft audience-growth strategies at tech platforms—all anchored in Medill’s ‘truth first’ ethos.
